aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
ham se kyā ho sakā mohabbat meñ
ḳhair tum ne to bevafā.ī kī
hum se kya ho saka mohabbat mein
KHair tum ne to bewafai ki
milāte ho usī ko ḳhaak meñ jo dil se miltā hai
mirī jaañ chāhne vaalā baḌī mushkil se miltā hai
those who meet you lovingly then into dust you grind
those who bear affection, dear, are very hard to find
milate ho usi ko KHak mein jo dil se milta hai
meri jaan chahne wala baDi mushkil se milta hai
aur bhī dukh haiñ zamāne meñ mohabbat ke sivā
rāhateñ aur bhī haiñ vasl kī rāhat ke sivā
sorrows other than love's longing does this life provide
comforts other than a lover's union too abide
aur bhi dukh hain zamane mein mohabbat ke siwa
rahaten aur bhi hain wasl ki rahat ke siwa
sāmne hai jo use log burā kahte haiñ
jis ko dekhā hī nahīñ us ko ḳhudā kahte haiñ
samne hai jo use log bura kahte hain
jis ko dekha hi nahin us ko KHuda kahte hain
uThe haiñ haath to apne karam kī laaj bachā
vagarna merī duā kyā mirī talab kyā hai
uThe hain hath to apne karam ki laj bacha
wagarna meri dua kya meri talab kya hai
