Whatever happens to heart, what the world knows about it?
The whole of the pain is packed in the curtain of a smile.
(Jo dil pe guzarti hai dunya usey kya jaane,
Ye dard to tabassum ke parde mein chhupa hai)
Whatever is the character of love, that is the character of fire!
One consumes hearts after hearts, the latter house after house.
(Jo ishq ki khasiat wo aag ki khasiat wo aag ki khasiat,
Ek seena ba seena hai, ek khana ba khana)
