ROZ EK SHER

पूछो न हाल हमसे मरीज़ों का ज़ोफ़ से
दिन को गिरे अगरचे सम्भल रात को गये
-बहादुर शाह ज़फ़र

puuchho na haal hamse mariizon kaa zof se
din ko gire agarche sambhal raat ko gaye
--Bahadur Shah Zafar

I know not how the weakest of patients fared
But if they had sunk by day, they recovered by night

English adaptation by Manish Modi
