aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
means
sāhil ke tamāshā.ī har Dūbne vaale par
afsos to karte haiñ imdād nahīñ karte
to a drowning person, they on the shores who stand
do lend their sympathy, but not a helping hand
sahil ke tamashai har Dubne wale par
afsos to karte hain imdad nahin karte
to a drowning person, they on the shores who stand
do lend their sympathy, but not a helping hand
from the Ghazal "duniya-e-tasawwur hum aabaad nahin karte" by Fana Nizami Kanpuri
