None
مری شاخ امل کا ہے ثمر کیاتری تقدیر کی مجھ کو خبر کیاکلی گل کی ہے محتاج کشود آجنسیم صبح فردا پر نظر کیا!
English translation
What fruits I will get of my cravings great? How do I know the end of thy fate? The flower buds need a blooming today, who can now wait for breeze of next day?
Translated by Q.A. Kabir
