مري شاخ امل کا ہے ثمر کيا
English title: What fruit will the bough of my hope bear
مري شاخ امل کا ہے ثمر کياتري تقدير کي مجھ کو خبر کيا
What fruit will the bough of my hope bear– | What do I know of your destiny?
کلي گل کي ہے محتاج کشود آج!نسيم صبح فردا پر نظر کيا
The rose‐bud needs to open today– | Why wait for tomorrow’s morning breeze?
