कहाँ तो तय था चराग़ाँ हर एक घर के लिये
कहाँ मयस्सर नहीं चराग़ सारे शहर के लिये
-दुष्यन्त कुमार
kahaan to tai thaa charaaghaan ha ek ghar ke liye
kahaan mayassar nahiin charaagh saare shahar ke liye
-Dushyant Kumar
Despite assurances that each house would have a lamp
There is not a lamp to be found in the entire city

ROZ EK SHER
हूँ मैं परवाना मगर शमा तो हो, रात तो हो
जान देने को हूँ मौजूद, कोई बात तो हो
-अकबर इलाहाबादी
huun main parvana magar shamaa to ho, raat to ho
jaan dene ko huun maujuud, koii baat to ho
--Akbar Allahabadi
I am a moth, but where is the flame and where is the darkness
I am here to lay down my life, but where is the cause

I cannot even deceive myself
