shikavaa karuu.N mai.n kab tak us apane meharabaa.N kaa
al-qissaa raftaa raftaa dushman huaa hai jaa.N kaa

(how long can I complain of my friend, kind and wise
step by step he has grown into an enemy of my life)

dii aag rang-e-gul ne vaa.N ai sabaa chaman ko
yaa.N ham jale qafas me.n sun haal aashiyaa.N kaa

(The grove by set ablaze by the brilliant hues of the bloom
Anxious in our prison,we heard the fate of our nest)
