aur kya dekhne ko
baaqi hai
aap se dil laga ke
dekh liya
what else is
left to be seen
giving my heart to you
i have seen it all

maqaam, faiz, koyi raah mein
jacha hi naheen
jo koo-e-yaar se nikle
to soo-e-dar chale
no station, faiz, seemed
appealing along the way
those who left the beloved's lane
walked straight to the gallows

raat yun dil mein
teri khoyi hui yaad aayi
jaise veerane mein
chupke se bahaar aa jaaye
in the middle of the night
lost memories of you came to mind
like in a barren desert
silently, the spring arrived

minnat-e-chaara-saaz
kaun kare
dard jab
jaan-nawaaz ho jaaye
who will
plead with the healer
when pain
itself is life-giving

tum naahaq sheeshe chun chun kar
daaman mein chupaaye baithe ho
sheeshe ka maseeha koyi nahin
kya aas lagaaye baithe ho?
picking some scraps of glass
and hiding them in your clothes
there is no savior in these trinkets
what hope are you holding on to?

woh log bahut
khush-qismat thay
jo kaam ko
ishq samajhte thay
those are
most fortunate
who saw work
as their love

ho mohtaseeb ki khair
uncha hai usi ke naam se
rind ka saaqi ka mae ka
khum ka paemaane ka naam
may god (or critics) be blessed
it is because of them
the drunkard, wine-pourer, wine
cask and goblet have gained fame

be-dam huye beemar
dawa kyun nahi dete
tum acche maseeha ho
shifa kyun nahi dete
the restless have fallen sick
why don’t you offer a medicine
you are such a good healer
why don’t you cure their illness

naheen shikaayat-e-hijraan ki
is vaasile se
hum un se rishta-e-dil
ustuvaar karte rahe
i never complained about
the separation for this reason
i kept nurturing this
relationship of the heart with her

itna kyun sikhaye
jaa rahi hai zindagi?
humne kaunsi sadiyan
guzarni hai yahan
why is life teaching me
so many lessons?
how many ages am I
going to spend here?

aur bhi dukh hain zamaane mein
mohabbat ke siva
rahatein aur bhi hain
wasl ki raahat ke siva
there are other sorrows
in this life than love’s longing
there are other comforts too
than the union with the beloved

jaanta hai ki
woh na aayenge
phir bhi
masroof-e-intezaar hai dil
i know
she will not come
but yet,
my heart is busy waiting

nahi nigah mein manzil
to justaju hi sahi
nahi visaal mayassar
to aarzoo hi sahi
if the destination is not in sight
the quest is the way
if union with the beloved is not possible
just the desire is the way

hum parvarish-e-lauh-o-qalam
karte rahenge
jo dil pe guzarti hai raqam
karte rahenge
we will keep nurturing
the pen and the paper
we will continue to capture
that which flows through our heart

sheikh saahab sey
rasm-o-raah na kee
shukr hai zindagi
tabaah na kee
i didn’t have the priest
perform rituals and customs
happy that i didn’t
waste my life thus

agar baazi ishq ki baazi hai
jo chaho lagado dar kaisa
agar jeet gaye to kya kahna
haaray bhi to baazi maat nahi
if the gamble is of love
bet what you want, why fear
if you win, nothing like it
even if you lose, it is not a loss

dil na-ummeed to nahi
nakaam hi to hai
lambi hai gham ki shaam
magar shaam hi to hai
the heart is not hopeless
just not sorted for now
long is the night of sorrow
yet, it is just a night (that'll pass)

dard jab
jaan-nawaaz ho jaaye
who would seek
the favor of the healer
when the pain itself
becomes a life-giver

jab zulm-o-sitam ke
koh-e-garan
rooyi ki tarah uD jaayenge
hum dekhenge
when the mighty mountains
of tyranny and oppression
fly away like clumps of cotton
we shall see
