Quwat-e-sukhan main ab kho betha hon...

Quwat-e-sukhan main ab kho betha hon,

Jitne gham thai, sab main ro betha hon,

Bejazba-o-shouq nazar aane laga hon sab ko,

Dunya walon ki mehfil main jo betha hon,

Rukh pai zulf teri jo pukare tou kya?

Aaishiqi se hath main ab dho betha hon,

Ikhtetaam ho ga kab is safr-e-taveel ka,

Intezar kerte kerte kahin so betha hon,

Vaiz se kehta hon, hosh ka rishta hai haal se, 

Aur huzoor main yahan behaal ho betha hon,

I have lost my ability for art now,

I have cried away all the sorrows I had,

I appear without passion or desire to all, 

After joining the company of the worldly,

The tress on your face calls me towards itself,

But I have washed my hands of the affair of love,

When will this long journey come to an end,

I have gone to sleep, waiting and waiting,

Consciousness is the trait of those who are present,

And my dear preacher, I am not present,

- Hassan Bin Fahim
