زمانہ
مری صراحی سے قطرہ قطرہ نئے حوادث ٹپک رہے ہیںمیں اپنی تسبیح روز و شب کا شمار کرتا ہوں دانہ دانہ
English translation
New tidings slowly come drop by drop from my pitcher gurgling of time’s new sights, as I count over the beads strung out on my threaded rosary of days and nights.
Translated by V.G. Kiernan
