اے ہمایوں! زندگی تیری سراپا سوز تھیتیری چنگاری چراغ انجمن افروز تھی

Ae Humayun! Zindagi Teri Sarapa Souz ThiTeri Chingari Charagh-e-Anjuman Afroz Thi

O Humayun ! your life was full of warmthYour spark was an assembly-enlightening lamp

گرچہ تھا تیرا تن خاکی نزار و دردمندتھی ستارے کی طرح روشن تری طبع بلند

Garche Tha Tera Tan-e-Khaki Nazaar-o-Dard MandThi Sitare Ki Tarah Roshan Teri Taba-e-Buland

Though your earthly body was slim and weakYour elegant disposition was bright like a star

کس قدر بے باک دل اس ناتواں پیکر میں تھاشعلہ گردوں نورد اک مشت خاکستر میں تھا

Kis Qadar Bebak Dil Iss Natawan Paikar Mein ThaShoala-e-Gardoon Naward Ek Musht-e-Khakstar Mein Tha

How fearless a heart in this frail body wasA universal flame in this handful of dust was!

موت کی لیکن دل دانا کو کچھ پروا نہیںشب کی خاموشی میں جز ہنگامہ فردا نہیں

Mout Ki Lekin Dil-e-Dana Ko Kuch Parwa NahinShab Ki Khamoshi Mein Juz Hangama-e-Farda Nahin

But the intelligent heart was not at all afraid of deathIn night’s silence there is nothing except morrow’s affairs!

موت کو سمجھے ہیں غافل اختتام زندگیہے یہ شام زندگی، صبح دوام زندگی

Mout Ko Samjhe Hain Ghafil Ikhtitam-e-ZindagiHai Ye Sham-e-Zindagi Subah-e-Dawam-e-Zindagi

The imprudent ones consider death is the end of lifeThis apparent evening of life is the morning of perpetual life!
