ROZ EK SHER

हाल बाक़ी न रहा कुछ तिरे दीवाने का
अब तो ज़ंजीर ही ज़ंजीर नज़र आती है
~ जलील मानकपुरी

حال باقی نہ رہا کچھ تیرے دیوانے کا
اب تو زنجیر ہی زنجیر نظر آتی ہے
~ جلیل ماناکپُری

haal baaqii na rahaa kuchh tire diivaane kaa
ab to zanjiir hii zanjiir nazar aatii hai
~ Jalil Manakpuri

Your lover has destroyed himself,
All that can be seen is the chains he is bound in.
