غزل

ایک زمانے سے ہے چاک گریباں مراتو ہے ابھی ہوش میں، میرے جنوں کا قصور

English translation

My vest is torn to shreds and pieces since long and this is due to my mind's frenzy great; your mind is still intact and sound, wherefore impute the blame to me and slate?

Translated by Syed Akbar Ali Shah
