1/3: khush

khush aaye tujhe

shahr-e-munaafiq ki ameeri

hum logon ko sach kahne ki

aadat bhi bahut thi

may the wealth of the hypocrites

of the city bring you joy

but we also had the habit

of telling the truth

2/3: khush

humko maloom hai

jannat ki haqeeqat lekin

dil ko khush rakhne ko 'ghalib'

yeh khayaal achchha hai

i do understand

the truth about heaven, but

to keep my heart happy, ghalib

it is a comforting thought

3/3: khush

woh log bahut

khush-qismat thay

jo kaam ko

ishq samajhte thay

those were

most fortunate

who saw work

as their love

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)
