हंसने वाले रात भर रोया किये

सुबह को राजे-गुलो शबनम खुला,

हंसने वाले रात भर रोया किये।

Subah ko raaz e gul o shabnam khulaa

hansne vaale raat bhar royaa kiye

In the morning, the secret of the dew and the flower was revealed

They laugh through the day, but through the night how they cried

-‘साक़िब’ लखनवी
