dil apni talab mein saadiq tha

1 / 1: Couplet

dil apni talab mein saadiq tha ghabra ke suu-e-matloob gaya

dariya se ye moti nikla tha

dariya hi mein ja kar Doob gaya

heart was loyal to its desire

anxious, went to see its beloved

the pearl came out of the river

but drowned in the river itself
