خوش تو ہیں ہم بھی جوانوں کی ترقی سے مگرلب خنداں سے نکل جاتی ہے فریاد بھی ساتھ

Khush To Hain Hum Bhi Jawanon Ki Taraqqi Se MagarLab-e-Khandan Se Nikal Jati Hai Faryad Bhi Sath

Though we also are happy with the progress of the youngBut some complaint from the happy lips also comes with it

ہم سمجھتے تھے کہ لائے گی فراغت تعلیمکیا خبر تھی کہ چلا آئے گا الحاد بھی ساتھ

Hum Samajhte The Ke Laye Gi Faraghat TaleemKya Khabar Thi Ke Chala Aye Ga Ilhad Bhi Sath

We had thought education would bring economic freedomWe did not know that atheism would also come with it

گھر میں پرویز کے شیریں تو ہوئی جلوہ نمالے کے آئی ہے مگر تیشۂ فرہاد بھی ساتھ

Ghar Mein Parvaiz Ke Shireen To Huwi Jalwa NumaLe Ke Ayi Hai Taisha-e-Farhad Bhi Sath

Though Shirin did honor Parviz with her presenceBut she brought the ax of Farhad also with her

''تخم دیگر بکف آریم و بکاریم ز نوکانچہ کشتیم ز خجلت نتواں کرد درو

“Tukham-e-Degar Bakaf Aaryem-Wa-Bakariyem Za-NauKancha Kashtiyem Za Khujlat Natawan Kard Drau”

Let us take the seed afresh in our hand and use it anewWe are ashamed to reap what would come out from whatever we sowed
