ROZ EK SHER

जिनको उठना है उठ जाते हैं चुपके से शकील
बाद उनके बज़्म में गिरिया सही मातम सही
-शकील बदायुनी

jinko uthnaa hai uth jaate hain chupke se Shakil
baad unke bazm mein giryaa sahii maatam sahii
-Shakil Badayuni

O Shakil, those who want to go away, leave quietly
Even though they may be deeply mourned by many
