Your words were good
Cool nights were nice
We used to go to the village on a train
...
Do not raise your voice
The silent city is not allowed to be disgraced
All I can say is that the people of the city died
...
Murshid is there even when he is far away
So Murshid understands my grief
The intellect is no longer on the abode
...
I spent time wondering
I saw such a sight
He used to teach me how to bow down
...
There is a ghazal in ecstasy
There is ghazal in the cloud of mercy
Both seem to me
...
I make lamps even from the scars of the heart
I make my desolation beautiful
Whether it is the winter season or the rainy season
...
The eye opens with a sigh
The body is cut with a saw
I will go to meet my family
...
Then there is the same tribulation
We have a cold weather
Chaining takes place in the morning
...
I did not go into the water because of fear
Still I drowned in the water
The moon did not rise to the surface again
...
I will perish in its fire
I am about to be separated from my soil
Even after death I will spread light
...
Autumn nights
In autumn nights, beautiful princesses wake up
A dance of leaf-drops takes place in the plains
The succession of trees, tells the tale of autumn

Your Words Were Good
Your words were good
Cool nights were nice
We used to go to the village on a train
And the meetings were good
We all had a low tone
Sweet things were good
Children used to read and sleep
Falling nights were good
