I have always loved, for they portray emotions in a light that just makes them shine and quite so apparent yet hidden. Here is the one that I found that resounds with me in every line of it ...
dekHa to mera saaya bhi mujhse juda mila
socha to har kisi se mera sil-sila mila
sehar-e-wafa meiN ab kise ehl'-e-wafa kaheN
humse gale mila to wo hi be-wafa mila
furshaT kise thi jo meri haalaath poochchta
har shakhs apne baare meiN kuch sonchtha mila
ussne to khair apno se moda that mooh haya
maiNe ye kya kiya ke maiN gairoN se jaa mila
I know translation from one language to another can never be perfect and the work tends to lose its meaning and hence its beauty a lot - but I will still try to give it my best shot.
When I looked, my shadow separated from me I found
When I thought, a story with everyone I found
In the city of loyalty, who shall I call loyal?
Embracing me was the same disloyalty/disloyal to be found
Who had the free time to ask for my being?
Thinking about themselves, every character was found
he/she had anyways turned his/her face away from his/her own
But what did I do? Mingling with the unknown I was found
