ख़ुद फँसी फ़न्दे में बुलबुल क्या ख़ता सय्याद की
गुल पे आशिक़ होके अपनी ज़िन्दगी बरबाद की
khud phansii fande mein bulbul kyaa khataa saiyaad kii
gul pe aashiq hoke apnii zindagii barbaad kii
The lover got caught in the web on his own, why blame the hunter
He fell in love with the flower and ruined his own life
NB In Urdu poetry bulbul, meaning nightingale, is used symbolically to denote the lover. Gul is the beloved one. The hunter could mean the world / adverse circumstances.
