kabhi un mad-bhari aankhon se
peeya tha ek jaam
aaj tak hosh naheen,
hosh naheen, hosh naheen
once i drank a cup
from those intoxicating eyes
till now, i am not conscious
not conscious, not conscious

jo toofanon mein
palte ja rahe hain
wahi duniya
badalte ja rahe hain
those who keep growing
braving the storms
those are the ones
that keep changing the world

donon haathon se
luutti hai hamen
kitni zaalim hai
teri angdaai
with both hands
you have robbed me
how cruel it is when
you raise your arms to stretch

duniya ke sitam yaad
na apni hi wafa yaad
ab mujh ko nahin kuchh bhi
mohabbat ke siwa yaad
i remember neither the world’s cruelty
nor my own faithful toiling
i don’t now remember anything
but my love

allah agar taufeeq na de
insaan ke bas ka kaam nahin
faizaan-e-mohabbat aam sahi
irfaan-e-mohabbat aam nahin
if god doesn’t give guidance
man is not competent
grace of love is common
but not love’s enlightenment

kidhar se barq chamakti hai
dekhen ai vaaiz
main apna jaam uThaatha huun
tu kitaab uTha
let’s find out, o priest, where the
spark of lightning comes from
i will raise my glass of wine
you raise your holy book

bahut haseen sahi
sohbaten gulon ki, magar
wo zindagi hai jo
kaanton ke darmiyan guzre
the company of flowers
is indeed beautiful
but that is life which
happens amid thorns

kyun mast-e-sharaab-e-aish-o-tarab
takleef-e-tawajjoh farmaayen
aawaz-e-shikast-e-dil hi to hai
aawaz-e-shikast-e-jaam nahin
why draw needless attention to
the joy and elation inspired by wine
that sound is only of the heart breaking
not that of the (wine) goblet breaking

main kya kahun
kahan hai mohabbat kahan nahin
raag raag mein daudthi phirthi hai
nashtar liye hue
what can i say about
where love is and where it isn’t
it courses through every vein,
daggers drawn

usii ko kahte hain jannath
usii ko dozakh bhi
vo zindagi jo haseenon
ke darmiyaan guzren
that is called heaven
that is also hell
life that is spent
among the beautiful
