dil na-umid to nahin nakam hi to hai lambi hai ghham ki shaam magar shaam hi to hai

ham ko un se vafa ki hai ummid jo nahin jante vafa kya hai

from her i hope for constancy who knows it not, to my dismay the poet mocks his own naivety in expecting loyalty from a beloved who is completely oblivious to the concept. it highlights a tragic irony where the lover's intense expectations are directed at someone incapable of fulfilling them, either due to innocence or cruel indifference.

ab tak dil-e-khush-fahm ko tujh se hain umiden ye akhiri shamen bhi bujhane ke liye aa

my heart is optimistic yet, its hopes are still alive come to snuff it out, let not this final flame survive

mire junun ka natija zarur niklega isi siyah samundar se nuur niklega

tire vaadon pe kahan tak mira dil fareb khaae koi aisa kar bahana miri aas tuut jaae

shakhen rahin to phuul bhi patte bhi aenge ye din agar bure hain to achchhe bhi aenge

itna bhi na-umid dil-e-kam-nazar na ho mumkin nahin ki sham-e-alam ki sahar na ho

disheartened or shortsighted o heart you need not be this night of sorrow surely will a dawn tomorrow see

na-umidi maut se kahti hai apna kaam kar aas kahti hai thahar khat ka javab aane ko hai

aarzu hasrat aur ummid shikayat aansu ik tira zikr tha aur biich men kya kya nikla

main ab kisi ki bhi ummid tod sakta huun mujhe kisi pe bhi ab koi e'tibar nahin

khvab, ummid, tamannaen, taalluq, rishte jaan le lete hain akhir ye sahare saare

kahte hain ki ummid pe jiita hai zamana vo kya kare jis ko koi ummid nahin ho

ummid to bandh jaati taskin to ho jaati vaada na vafa karte vaada to kiya hota

ab raat ki divar ko dhana hai zaruri ye kaam magar mujh se akele nahin hoga

kis se ummid karen koi ilaj-e-dil ki charagar bhi to bahut dard ka maara nikla

tum kahan vasl kahan vasl ki ummid kahan dil ke bahkane ko ik baat bana rakhi hai

bas ab to daman-e-dil chhod do bekar ummido bahut dukh sah liye main ne bahut din ji liya main ne

rakh na aansu se vasl ki ummid khare paani se daal galti nahin

mujh ko auron se kuchh nahin hai kaam tujh se har dam umid-vari hai

maujon ki siyasat se mayus na ho 'fani' girdab ki har tah men sahil nazar aata hai

dil na-umid to nahin nakam hi to hai lambi hai ghham ki shaam magar shaam hi to hai

ham ko un se vafa ki hai ummid jo nahin jante vafa kya hai

vo ummid kya jis ki ho intiha vo vaada nahin jo vafa ho gaya

kis se ummid karen koi ilaj-e-dil ki charagar bhi to bahut dard ka maara nikla

tum kahan vasl kahan vasl ki ummid kahan dil ke bahkane ko ik baat bana rakhi hai

bichhad ke tujh se mujhe hai umiid milne ki suna hai ruuh ko aana hai phir badan ki taraf

rakh na aansu se vasl ki ummid khare paani se daal galti nahin

inqalab-e-subh ki kuchh kam nahin ye bhi dalil pattharon ko de rahe hain aaine khul kar javab
