kis se ummid karen koi elaj-e-dil ki
chaaragar bhi to bahut dard ka mara nikla

kuchh to duniya ki inayat ne dil tod diya
aur kuchh talkhi-e-haalat ne dil tod diya

this world's benefaction broke my heart to some extent
and then by bitter circumstance partly my heart was rent [...]

dil ka sara dard simat aaya hai meri palkon mein
kitne taj-mahal dubenge pani ki in bundon mein

dhyan mein us ke fana ho kar koi munh dekh le
dil wo aaina nahin jo har koi munh dekh le

dard-e-dil kya bayan karun 'rashki'
us ko kab e'tibar aata hai

ek safar wo hai jis mein
panw nahin dil thakta hai
