My heart broke like a dazzling mirror

My heart broke like a dazzling mirror

 Breaks, as if fallen on a hard boulder

As tears falling from eyelashes away

As a piercing arrow breaks; in my heart

As an appealing delicate bough of desire

Breaks all of a sudden in full blossom

Like a sequence of a romantic dream

Tangles at the time of realizing the dream

Like the earth slither under feet away

As hazards befall from above the sky

The branch I had the reliance on its solidity

 Nests built on it were all collapsed away

As an insensible comes back to senses

As a lost utopian comes back to senses

 Now being shattered into pieces I think

Who sensed the suffering I went through?

My going through, of grief, is just worthless

 Hum jo toote to is tarah toote
jaise hathon se girr k pathar par
koi shafaaf aaiina toote
jaise palkon se toot tha aansoo
jaise seene main ik kamaan toote
jaise umeed ki nazuk daali
barg mosam main na gahaan toote
jaise aankhon main khwab ki doori
waqt e takmeel se ulajh jaye
jaise pairon tale zameen nikle
jaise sar par yeh asmaan toote
jaise ik shaakh pe bharosa kia
is pe jitne thay aashiyaan toote
jaise wehshat se hosh aa jaye
jaise ta dair main dheyaan toote
ab jo raiza howay to sochte hain
kis nay dekha tha tootna apna
hum jo toote to raayegaan toote
