“Unke Dekhe seh joh aa jati hai joh muh par raunak , Woh samajhte hein ki bimar ka hal accha hai ” Even a sight of hers And my whole face brightens. Oh the irony of it ! For she feels I am better And my illness Is fading away!

“dhapa kafan mein dage uyube barahnagi mai, Varnah har libas mei nange vujud thaa ” “No raiment doth hide The nakedness of life It’s only the shroud Which will cloud All signs of my vice .”

“Dame har maoj me hai , halqah – e sadkame nihang Dekhe kya guzre hai qatre pe , guhar hone tak .” “For I would be the drop That turns into a pearl But the dangers all around With crocodiles ferocious With open jaws.”

Mujhko dayare gair me mara vatan se dur , rakh li mere khuda neh , meri bekasi ki SharmOh for a death In a foreign land Far from a country

Phir is andaz se bahar ai , ki hue mehr-o-mah tamasai Into spectators Have turned The moon and the Sun For spring has come Again with glory And all splendor!

Hum muvahhid hai , hamara kes hai tarke rusum , millateh jab mit gayi ajza -e-ima ho gayi
