magrur hu dil ka karar hu
jo kisi ke kam na aa sake
main wo ek guftgudar hu

maine ki hai naav mein jaan fida
mujhe sunke koi karega kya
main badi hi rokti hu sada
kisi dil jale ki pukar hu

I am proud, the heart's own vow,
Yet useless, a barren bough.
A conversation, lost somehow,
That no one needs, here and now.

Upon a ship, I gave my life,
What use to hear my mournful strife?
I halt the echoes, sharp as knife,
A burning heart's despairing wife.
