The verses

दोनों जहान दे के वो समझे ये ख़ुश रहा याँ आ पड़ी ये शर्म कि तकरार क्या करें
Meaning: Bestowing both the worlds, He deemed me well content; while here such shame constrained me: how could I dare contest?
थक थक के हर मक़ाम पे दो चार रह गए तेरा पता न पाएँ तो नाचार क्या करें
Meaning: Wearied at every stage, a few fell by the way; finding no trace of you, what could the helpless do?
क्या शम्अ' के नहीं हैं हवा-ख़्वाह बज़्म में हो ग़म ही जाँ-गुदाज़ तो ग़म-ख़्वार क्या करें
Meaning: Are there no well-wishers of the candle in the assembly? / When grief itself is life-consuming, what can a comforter do?
