English rendering

Rukh-e-nigar se hai soz-e-javdani shama Hui hai atish-e-gul aab-e-zindagani shama Zaban-e-ahl-e-zaban mein hai marg-e-khamoshi Ye baat bazm mein roshan hui zabani shama Kare hai sarf ba-aima-e-shola qissa tamam Ba-tarz-e-ahl-e-fana hai fasana-khwani shama Gham us ko hasrat-e-parwana ka hai aye shole Tere larazne se zahir hai na-tavani shama Tere khayal se rooh ihtizaz karti hai Ba-jalwa-rezi-e-bad-o-ba-par-fashani shama Nishat-e-dagh-e-gham-e-ishq ki bahar na poochh Shiguftagi hai shaheed-e-gul-e-khazani shama Jalte hai dekh ke baalin-e-yar par mujh ko Na kyun ho dil pe mere dagh-e-bad-gumani shama
