1/4: aksar

maazi ke samundar mein aksar

yaadon ke jazeere milte hain

phir aao vaheen langar Daalen

phir aao unhen aabaad karen

in the ocean of the past, often

islands of memories are found

so, come, let’s anchor here

so, come, let’s dwell here

2/4: aksar

aksar maazi se poochta tha

kismat ka pataa

woh bola har lamhe mein

muqaddar chippa hai

often, i asked my past

about my fate

it replied that my destiny

is hidden in every moment

3/4: aksar

azaab hoti hain aksar

shabaab ki ghadiyan

gulaab apni hi khushbu se

darne lagte hain

tormenting often are

the times of youth

the rose starts to fear

its own fragrance

4/4: aksar

mamnuun huun jahaan ke

nasheb-o-faraaz ka

aksar bigaD ke khud

meri haalat sambhal gayi

i am grateful for

the ups and downs of the world

often, my situation goes awry

before it corrects itself
