ਲੋਹੇ ਨੂੰ ਹਥਿਆਰ ਬਣਾ ਕੇ

If I were ever to get you, I would hold you close to me like a pendant given by a deceased loved one. If I were ever to get you, I would hold you tighter than a woman clutching a purse with thousands in it on a train alone at night.

Why am I still here?

Why must I suffer?

Why must I go through this every day! When I don't want to?

Why must I live?

Why must I live with this horrendous thing inside me?

I don't know what's worse, my brain or my heart.

Sometimes I think my heart because that's where the pain is.

Sometimes I think it's my brain because that is why the pain is.

باغ بہاراں تے گلزاراں بن یاراں کس کاری ؟

یار ملے دکھ جان ہزاراں شکر کہاں لکھ واری

Baagh baharaan te gulzaraan bin yaaraan kis kaari Yaar milan dukh jaan hazaraan, shukr karan lakh vari

–Mian Muhammad Bakhsh

What effect of this spring, of these garden, without my friends?

When friends meet, share the griefs, I offer gratitude thousand times

سب رُتیں آ کر چلی جاتی ہیں

موسمِ غم بھی تو ہجرت کرتا

sab rutai'n aa kar chali jaati hain

mausam e gham bhi to hijrat karta !
