Insaan
manzir chamanistaa(n) kay, zeba hoo(n) kay naa'zeba
mehroom'e'amal nargis, majboor'e'tamaasha hai!
raftaar kee lazat kaa ehsaas nahi(n) is ko
fitrat hee sanober kee mehroom'e'tamana hai!
tasleem kee khoo'ger hai jo cheez hai dunya mei(n)
insaan kee her qoo'at, sargarm'e'taqaaza hai
is zaray ko rehtee hai wus'at kee havas her dam
yeh zarah nahi(n), shaayed simtaa hoo'aa daryaa hai
chaahay to badal daalay hai'yat chamanistaa(n) kee
yeh hastee'e'daana hai, beena hai, tawaana hai

Love is like the wild rose briar,Friendship like the holy tree
The holy is dark when the rose briar blooms,but which will bloom constantly
The wild rose briar is sweet in spring,its summer blossoms scent the air
yet wait till winter comes again,and who will call the wild briar fair E.B.
