The couplet
دل ناامید تو نہیں ناکام ہی تو ہے
Dil na-umeed to nahin nakaam hi to hai
لمبی ہے غم کی شام مگر شام ہی تو ہے
Lambi hai gham ki shaam magar shaam hi to hai
What it means
The heart is not without hope, only defeated; the evening of sorrow is long, but it is only an evening.
Original plain-language paraphrase prepared for LAFZ; not a quoted translation.
