خاموش ہے چاندنی قمر کیشاخیں ہیں خموش ہر شجر کی

Khamosh Hai Chandani Qamar KiShakhain Hain Khamosh Har Shajar Ki

The moon's light is silentThe branches of every tree are silent

وادی کے نوا فروش خاموشکہسار کے سبز پوش خاموش

Wadi Ke Nawa Farosh KhamoshKuhsar Ke Sabz Posh Khamosh

The songsters of the valley are silentThe green trees of the mountain are silent

فطرت بے ہوش ہو گئی ہےآغوش میں شب کے سو گئی ہے

Fitrat Be-Hosh Ho Gyi HaiAghosh Mein Shab Ke So Gyi Hai

Nature has become unconsciousIt is sleeping in the night's lap

کچھ ایسا سکوت کا فسوں ہےنیکر کا خرام بھی سکوں ہے

Kuch Aesa Sukoot Ka Fasoon HaiNaikar Ka Kharaam Bhi Sukoon Hai

Some such spell of serenity existsThat Neckar's flow is also serene

تاروں کا خموش کارواں ہےیہ قافلہ بے درا رواں ہے

Taron Ka Khamosh Karwan HaiYe Qafla Be-Dra Rawan Hai

The caravan of stars is silentThe caravan is moving without the bell

خاموش ہیں کوہ و دشت و دریاقدرت ہے مراقبے میں گویا

Khamosh Hain Koh-o-Dasht-o-DaryaQudrat Hai Muraqbe Mein Goya

Silent are the mountains, forest, riverAs if Nature is absorbed in deep meditation

اے دل! تو بھی خموش ہو جاآغوش میں غم کو لے کے سو جا

Ae Dil! Tu Bhi Khamosh Ho JaAghosh Mein Gam Ko Le Ke So Ja

O Heart! You should also become silentTaking grief in your lap go to sleep
