Dalīl-e-sahar
(testimony of morning, sign of sunrise)

zulmat-kade meñ mere shab-e-ġham kā josh hai
ik shamma hai dalīl-e-sahar so ḳhamosh hai 

-Mirza Ghalib

"In my dark chamber, in my room of grief, the night of grief has spread tyranny/darkness [andher]. If the candle had been burning, then through its gleaming and light it could be known that the night is over and the dawn has come. But it has been extinguished-- there's no way to tell whether it's day or night."
