“
کچھ نہ دیکھا پھر بجز یک شعلۂ پر پیچ و تاب
شمع تک تو ہم نے دیکھا تھا کہ پروانہ گیا
شمع تک تو ہم نے دیکھا تھا کہ پروانہ گیا
kuchh na dekhā phir ba-juz yak shola-e-pur-pech-o-tāb
sham’a tak to ham ne dekhā thā kih parvāna gayā
sham’a tak to ham ne dekhā thā kih parvāna gayā
From: Kash Ta Shama Na Hota →
