ہیں ہم برائیوں میں
بے غیرت
دیدہ دیتے ہیں ہم ہمیشہ تیزیوں میں
(Translation: We always look better in the mirror, and we always see ourselves in trouble)
تجھ سے لفظوں کا نہیں روح کا رشتہ ہے
میرا
تو میری سانسوں میں تحلیل ہے خوشبو کی طرح
My relationship with you is not
wordy but of spiritual
You are dissolved in my breath like fragrance
