نہ گنواؤ ناوک نیم کش دل ریزہ ریزہ گنوا دیا

(Na ganvao navak-e-neem kash, dil-e-reza reza ganva dia)

جو بچے ہیں سنگ سمیٹ لو تن داغ داغ لٹا دیا

(Jo bachay hain sang samet lo, tan-e-dagh dagh luta dia)

Do not waste (your) half drawn arrow, (I have already) lost (broken pieces of my) heart.

Collect and save the left-over stones, (my) injured or wounded body is (already) wasted.

- Faiz Ahmad Faiz.

میں ہوں، دل ہے، تنہائی ہے

تم بھی ہوتے اچھا ہوتا

(Tum bhi hote tou acha hota)

Me, my loneliness, my heart are here,

Would be nice if you were here too.

تیری صورت سے ہے عالم میں بہاروں کو ثبات

(Teri surat se hai aalam mein bahaaron ko sabaat)

تیری آنکھوں کے سوا دنیا میں رکھا کیا ہے

(Teri aankhon ke siwa duniya mein rakhkha kya hai)

Your face is what lends permanence to springtime in this world.

What is there in the world except for the beauty of your eyes.

- Faiz Ahmad Faiz.

میں خیال ہوں کسی اور کا مجھے سوچتا کوئی اور ہے

(Main khayal hun kisi aur ka mujhe sochta koi aur hai)

سر آئینہ میرا عکس ہے پس آئینہ کوئی اور ہے

(Sar-e-aina mera aks hai pas-e-aina koi aur hai)

I am somebody else's thought, but someone else thinks about me.

In front of the mirror I am standing, but behind the mirror it's someone else.

- Saleem Kausar.

نہیں نگاہ میں منزل تو جستجو ہی سہی

نہیں وصال میسر تو آرزو ہی سہی

If the end is not in sight,

then perhaps the quest is enough.

If our union is not to be,

then perhaps its desire is enough.
