Wo purani rawishen bagh ki weeran bhi huwen,
dalyan perhan e barg se aryan bhi huwen

Those former trends, spring, of the garden are gone,
The branches of the trees are bare as they have lost the dress of greenery due to autumn.
Qed e mosam se tabeeyat se rahi aazad us ki,
kash gulshan main samajhta koi faryad us ki

This lonely nightingale sings songs in the autumn; it is uninfluenced by the captive weather,
Alas! There were somebody to understand his pleas in the garden.
Lutf marnay main hy baqi na maza jeenay main,
kuch maza hy to yahi khoon e jigar peenay main

Kitnay be tab hain johar mery aayenay main,
kis qadar jalway tarptay hain mery seenay main

I have sublime imaginations and dreams.
Is gulistan main magar dekhny waly he nahi,
dagh jo seeny main rakhtay hon wo lalay he nahi

Chak is bulbul e tanha ki nawa se dil hon,
jagnay walay isi bang e dara se dil hon

May this song awake the sleeping souls?
Yani phir zinda naye ahd e wafa se dil hon,
phir isi bada dereena ke pyasay dil hon
