aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
ye na thī hamārī qismat ki visāl-e-yār hotā
agar aur jiite rahte yahī intizār hotā
ye na thi hamari qismat ki visal-e-yar hota
agar aur jite rahte yahi intizar hota
mohabbat meñ nahīñ hai farq jiine aur marne kā
usī ko dekh kar jiite haiñ jis kāfir pe dam nikle
In love there is no difference 'tween life and death do know
The very one for whom I die, life too does bestow
mohabbat mein nahin hai farq jine aur marne ka
usi ko dekh kar jite hain jis kafir pe dam nikle
kahāñ mai-ḳhāne kā darvāza 'ġhālib' aur kahāñ vaa.iz
par itnā jānte haiñ kal vo jaatā thā ki ham nikle
Wherefrom the 'saintly' priest, and where the tavern's door
But as I entered he was leaving, this much I do know
kahan mai-KHane ka darwaza 'ghaalib' aur kahan waiz
par itna jaante hain kal wo jata tha ki hum nikle
bas-ki dushvār hai har kaam kā āsāñ honā
aadmī ko bhī mayassar nahīñ insāñ honā
Tis difficult that every goal be easily complete
For a man, too, to be human, is no easy feat
bas-ki dushwar hai har kaam ka aasan hona
aadmi ko bhi mayassar nahin insan hona
ishrat-e-qatra hai dariyā meñ fanā ho jaanā
dard kā had se guzarnā hai davā ho jaanā
ishrat-e-qatra hai dariya mein fana ho jaana
dard ka had se guzarna hai dawa ho jaana
