apne chehre ko badalna to
bahut mushkil hai
dil bahal jaayega
aaina badal kar dekho
changing your face
is quite tough
you heart will be allayed
just change the mirror and see

koi aisi dava de,
chaaragar
bhool jaaun main
aashna chehre ko
give me a medicine,
my healer
that let's me forget
my beloved’s face
uske chehre ki chamak
ke saamne saada laga
aasmaan pe chaand pura tha
magar aadha laga
it seemed so plain
against the sparkle on her face
the moon was full in the sky
but it appeared to be half

umr bhar, ghalib,
ye hi bhool karta raha
dhool chehre pe thi
aur aaina saaf karta raha
all through life, ghalib,
kept making the same mistake
the dust was on my face, but
kept cleaning the mirror
Theme:Miscellany (44)
kis kis ko samjhaayega
ye naadaani choD
chehre ko sundar bana
aayina mat toD
to whom all will you justify?
quit this helpless lamenting
make your face better
don’t break the mirror
