"I loved blood since I had tasted yours."

(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.

(Main hun, dil hai, tanhai hai)

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.

(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.

(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.

“A land of fragrance, quietness, and trees, and flowers.”

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.

I would always rather be happy than dignified.

“She reads. She reads. She reads words of splendour to comfort her soul.”

"Luminous, gemlike, ghostlike, deathlike,"

I am a brutally soft woman.

“But let me be unseen.”
