haa.e vo jis ummīdeñ hoñ ḳhizāñ par mauqūf

shāḳh-e-gul suukh ke gir jaa.e to kāshāna bane

alas the one whose aspirations do on autumn rest

when the leaves dry off and fall, they would make their nest

hae wo jis ki ummiden hon KHizan par mauquf

shaKH-e-gul sukh ke gir jae to kashana bane

alas the one whose aspirations do on autumn rest

when the leaves dry off and fall, they would make their nest
