1: Aik bay qeemat zaray ne aahon ki daulat jama ki tou ishq ne usay is qadar jalaya ke parwane ki si khu seekh gaya aur raat ki tareekiyon ko roshan karne laga.
2: (Ye jugnu darasal suraj se bichar kar) peechay reh jane wali kiran hai jo simat kar chingari ban gayi hai. Zindagi ki tapish ki badolat us ke tamaam kaam sanwar gaye hain (us ki zindagi kamyab ho gayi hai) aur woh sahib-e-nazar ho gayi hai.
3: Betaab parwana jo ke har taraf bhag dor kar raha tha, shama par khuch is tarah jala ke us ne apne aap ko shama hi bana liya aur is tarah main aur tou ke faeq ko khatam kar diya.
4: Ya (phir) ye (jugnu)naik chota sa sitara hai ke roshan chand jis ki ghat mein hai (aur jo) zameen ka nazara karne ke liye aasman ki bulandiyon se (zameen ke) bohat qareeb agaya hai.
5: Aay thori roshni wale chand (tou aisa chand hai) jis ki roshni aik hi jalwe mein mukamal ho jati hai. (Tou) aisa chand hai jis par suraj ka ehsan uthana haraam hai aur jo muqam ki qaid se azad hai.
6: Aay raat ko chamakne wale keeray tera wajood sarapa noor hai. Teri parwaz chup jane are zahir hone ka aik silsila hai (aur yehi teri) zindagi ka aaeen hai.
7: (Aay jugnu!) tou andheri raton mein raat mein urnay wale parindon ke liye mashal (ka kaam deta) hai. Woh sooz kesa soz hai ke (jis ki wajah se tou) chamakta damakta nazar aata hai aur (har waqt kisi shay ki) justuju mein masroof rehta hai.
8: (Aay jugnu!) hum woh hain jo teri hi tarah mitti se paida howe hain. Hum (mein se jo mehbob haqeeqi ko) dekhte hain, (woh bhi) tarapte hain (aur jo) nahin dekhte (woh bhi) tarapte hain (lekin hum abhi tak apni) manzil tak nahin pohanch sake.
9: (Aay jugnu!) main tujhe aik patay ki baat batata hon jis par maine khoob ghoor-o-fikar kiya hai aur jo bohat wasi al mani hai (aur woh ye hai ke) khoi hoi manzil na zikar mat kar balkeh raste par chalta ja aur jo roshni tere paas hai us ki hifazat kar.
Explanation: Allama Iqbal apni nazam "Kirmak-e-Shab-e-Taab" ke is shair mein (jo nazam ka akhri shair hai) jugnu ko nasihat karte howe kehte hain ke aay jugnu! main tujhe aik baat batata hon. Ye baat baray patay hi hai ke tujhe apni khoi hoi manzil ka zikar nahin karna chahiye kyoun ke agar tou apni mazi ki kotahiyon aur nakamiyon ka rona rota rahe ga tou is tarah tou apne haal ko tabah kare ga aur tera mustaqbil bhi kharab hi ga. Mazi ka ghum karte rehne se tera haal tou kharab ho ga hi tera mustaqbil bhi tabnak nahin ho sake ga. Is liye tou guzre howe waqt ki nakamiyon se sabaq hasil kar ke apne raste par chalta ja. Manzil ki taraf apne safar jari rakh aur qudrat ki taraf se jo tujhe ye roshni di gayi hai isay ghanimat samajh. Tou agar is roshni ki hifazat na kar saka aur ye roshni tujh se chin gayi ya kisi tarah zaya ho gayi tou is ke sath hi teri zindagi bhi khatam ho jaye gi.
4: Ya (phir) ye (jugnu)naik chota sa sitara hai ke roshan chand jis ki ghat mein hai (aur jo) zameen ka nazara karne ke liye aasman ki bulandiyon se (zameen ke) bohat qareeb agaya hai.
5: Aay thori roshni wale chand (tou aisa chand hai) jis ki roshni aik hi jalwe mein mukamal ho jati hai. (Tou) aisa chand hai jis par suraj ka ehsan uthana haraam hai aur jo muqam ki qaid se azad hai.
