**Aaj ki raat saz-e-dard nah chhairh
dukh sey bharpoor din tamaam howye
our kal ki khabar kissey maloom
dosh-o-farda ki mit chuki haiN ab hadood
ho nah ho ab sehar, kissey maloom
zindgi heich! lekin aaj ki raat
azdiyat he mumkin, aaj ki raat
aaj ki raat saz-e-dard nah chhairh
ab nah duhraa fasana-e-hay-e-aalam
apni qismat pe sogwaar nah ho
fikr-e-farda utaar dey dil sey
umr-e-rafta pe ashkbaar nah ho
ehd-e-ghum ki khiqayateeN mat pochh
ho chukeeN sab shikayateeN, mat pochh
aaj ki raat saz-e-dard nah chhairh**
I am like an Open Book Except for the few pages of my past, My life is an empty book. It takes the shape of a mystery, To me it does at least. For I cannot tell what happens next, Too many cliffhangers and too much suspense. But its clues all lead eventually to the same place, Unfortunately it does not say where. It only says get the next book, For in this one you’ ve ran out of room.
