Vatan se Dur
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

“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!
“Guncha phir laga khilne , Aaj Kiya hua dekha , gum Kiya hua Paya “ The spring has come again And all around. Again The flowers have taken bloom I too have found my heart Lost and stained with blood.
