در بیابان مثل چوب نیم سوزکاروان بگذشت و من سوزم ہنوز

English translation

I am like a half-burnt piece of wood in the desert, the caravan has passed on, and I am still burning.
(When a caravan stays at some place for the night, people light fire. Burning wood thus symbolises the presence of a caravan. Next day when the caravan moves away, the burning wood reminds other people coming after-wards that some caravan had camped there.)

Translated by Bashir Ahmad Dar

Urdu translation

میں بیابان میں پڑی نیم جلی لکڑی کی مانند ہوں؛ کاروان جا چکا ہے ، اور میں ابھی تک جل رہا ہوں۔
