اک فغان بے شرر سینے میں باقی رہ گئیسوز بھی رخصت ہوا، جاتی رہی تاثیر بھی

Ek Faghan-e-Be Sharar Seene Mein Baqi Reh GyiSouz Bhi Rukhsat Huwa, Jati Rahi Taseer Bhi

In my breast, A wail of grief, Without any spark or flash,Alone survives, Passionless, ineffectual.

مرد حر زنداں میں ہے بے نیزہ و شمشیر آجمیں پشیماں ہوں، پشیماں ہے مری تدبیر بھی

Mard-e-Hur Zindan Mein Hai Be-Naiza-o-Shamsheer AajMain Pasheman Hun, Pasheman Hai Meri Tadbeer Bhi

A free man is in prison today, Without a spear or a sword;Regret overwhelms me And also my strategy.

خود بخود زنجیر کی جانب کھنچا جاتا ہے دلتھی اسی فولاد سے شاید مری شمشیر بھی

Khud-Ba-Khud Zanjeer Ki Janib Khincha Jata Hai DilThi Issi Foulad Se Shaid Meri Shamsheer Bhi

My heart Is drawn by instinct to chains.Perhaps my sword was of the same steel.

جو مری تیغ دو دم تھی، اب مری زنجیر ہےشوخ و بے پروا ہے کتنا خالق تقدیر بھی!

Jo Meri Taeg-e-Dodam Thi, Ab Meri Shamsheer HaiShoukh-o-Be Parwa Hai Kitna Khaliq-e-Taqdeer Bhi !

Once I had a two‐edged sword– It turned into the chains that shackle me now.How whimsical and indifferent, Is the Author of fates.
