Kuch Pane Kee Chaahat Mein Bahut Kuch Choot Jata Hai;
Na Jane Sabr Ka Dhaga Kahan Par Toot Jata Hai;
Zara Batao Ki Tum Kise Humraah Kehte Ho;
Yahan To Apna Saya Bhi Saath Chod Jata Hai!
Pehli Mohabbat Thi Hamari, Hum Jaan Na Sake;
Pyaar Kya Hota Hai Hum Pehchan Na Sake;
Humne Unhe Dil Mein Basaya Hai Iss Kadar Ki;
Chah Kar Bhi Hum Unhe Apne Dil Se Nikaal Na Sake!
BhulaKar Mujhe Agar Tum Ab Bhi Ho Salamat;
To BhulaKar Tumhein Sambhalna Mujhe Bhi Aata Hai;
Meri Fitrat Mein Nahi Hai Ye Aadat Varna;
Teri Tarah Yun Badalna Mujhe Bhi Aata Hai!
Koi Mil Jaye Mujhe Tum Jaisa Ye Na-Mumkin Sahi;
Lekin Tum Dhund Lo Hum Jaisa Itna Aasan Ye Bhi Nahi!
Apni Gali Mein Mujh Ko Na Kar Dafn Baad-e-Qatl;
Mere Pate Se Khalak Ko Kyon Tera Ghar Mile;
Saqi Gari Kee Sharm Karo Aaj Varna Hum;
Har Shab Piya Hi Karte Hain Mai Jis Kadar Mile!
Translation:
Do not bury me in your alley after my murder,
Why should my address bring the world to your home.
Practice the properieties of wine bearing today,
Other nights, I imbibe whatever can be found.
Kash Woh Samajhte Is Dil Kee Tadap Ko;
To Yun Humein Ruswa Na Kiya Hota;
Unki Ye Berukhi Bhi Manzoor Thi Humein;
Bas Ek Baar Humein Samjh Liya Hota!
Hum Ko Unse Hai Wafa Kee Umeed;
Jo Nahi Jaante Wafa Kya Hai;
Haan Bhala Kar Tera Bhala Hoga;
Aur Darvesh Kee Sada Kya Hai!
Translation:
We hope for fidelity from them,
Who do not know what fidelity may be.
Yes, do well, well will come to you,
What else is the Dervish's cry?
Main Bhi Munh Mein Jubaan Rakhta Hun;
Kaash Pucho Ki Mudda Kya Hai;
Jab Ki Tujh Bin Nahi Koi Maujood;
Phir Yeh Hungama Ai Khuda Kya Hai!
Translation:
I also have a tongue in my mouth,
If only you could ask its articulation,
if there is nothing apart from you, Oh Lord!
Then what is this continual turmoil.
Wafa Kee Keemat Lagai Nahi Jati;
Humse Apni Chahat Chupayi Nahi Jati;
Is Kadar Mohabbat Hai Humein Unse;
Ki Unki Khata Bhi Humse Batai Nahi Jati!
Kuch Main Bhi Thak Geya Use Dhoondte Hue;
Kuch Zindagi Ke Paas Bhi Mohlat Nahi Rahi;
Us Kee Har Ek Ada Se Jhalakne Laga Khaloos;
Jab Mujh Ko Aitbar Kee Aadat Nahi Rahi!
