shaam hote hi
tere hijr ka dukh
dil mein qhema
laga ke baiTh gaya
the moment dusk set in
the pain of your separation
pitched its tent in my heart
and settled in for the night
Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
dukh yeh naheen ke
andheron se sulh ki hum ne
malaal yeh hai ke
ab subh ki talab bhi naheen
it is not coming to terms
with the night that is distressing
but the anguish of no longer
wishing for a new dawn
Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)
koyi bhi ghar mein samajhta na tha
mere dukh sukh
ek ajnabi ki tarah
main khud apne ghar mein tha
no one in my home
understood my joys and sorrows
like a stranger, i lived
in my own home
Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
wafa tum se karenge
dukh sahenge naaz uThaayenge
jise aataa hai dil dena
use har kaam aataa hai
will bear faith
suffer sorrow, endure haughtiness
he who knows to give his heart
can get anything done
Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)
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
