apne naa ho sake jo dil kaa karar ho kar
aankho me bas gaye hain range bahar ho kar

pehle naa yeh kabar thi hai maut dil kaa aana
jo phul khil raha tha khataka woh kar ho kar

ham dil me dafn kar ke sab murda hasarato ko
kamosh jal rahe hain shamme majar ho kar

Though they were never ours, yet in the heart they stayed,
Like solace sought, and then, in spring's bright hues arrayed.

I never knew the heart's demise, the coming death,
The bloom that blossomed, turned to thorns beneath.

We buried all dead hopes within our breast,
Silent, we burn, like candles in a tomb's rest.
