yĕh kahāṅ kī dostī hai kĕh bane haiṅ dost nāṣiḥ

ko’ī chārah-sāz hotā ko’ī ġham-gusār hotā¹⁶⁵

What kind of friendship is this when the friend does nothing but give advice?

Were there but someone to cure my ills, someone to sympathize!

Verse 2

Similarly, Iqbal has complained about God:

bāt kĕhne kī nahīṅ, tū bhī to harjā’ī hai¹⁶⁶

It’s absurd to speak of Your faithfulness—You visit every house.

Verse 4

In Urdu poetry “someone” often obliquely refers to the beloved. Here, the thought of the beloved continually replaces the thought of God in the lover’s prayers.
