Mere dard ko jo zaban mile

mera dard naghma-e-be-sada
meri zat zara-e-be-nishan

mere dard ko jo zaban mile
mujhe apna nam-o-nishan mile

meri zat ka jo nishan mile
mujhe raaz-e-nazm-e-jahan mile

jo mujhe ye raaz-e-nihan mile
meri KHamushi ko bayan mile

mujhe kaenat ki sarwari
mujhe daulat-e-do-jahan mile

If Pain Could Speak
My pain, a voiceless song,

my being a nameless mote.
If only my pain could speak,

I'd know who I am.
And if my self could find its essence,

I’d unravel the mystery of this world.
If I could seize this hidden mystery,

my silence would find expression.
Then would I lord it over the universe,

possess all treasures of the two worlds.
