Husn ho kiya khudnuma jab koi maeel hi na ho
Shama ko jalne se kiya matlab jo mehfil hi na ho
How can beauty unveil itself if no one is anxious for sight
Lighting of the candle is meaningless if there is no assembly
Zauq-e-goyai khamoshi se badalta kyu nahi
Mere aaeene se ye johar nikalta kyu nahi
Why does the taste for speech not change to silence
Why does this brilliance not emerge out from my mirror
Kab zuban kholi hamari lazzat-e-guftar ne
Phoonk dala jb chaman ko aatish-e-paikar ne
Alas! My tongue poured its speech down
When war’s fire had burnt the garden down
