1/6: khushi

hayaat ek mustaqqil gham ke siwa

kuch bhi naheen

shaayad khushi bhi yaad aati hai toh

aansoon bankar aati hai

life is nothing

but endless sorrow

even joy, when remembered

returns, perhaps, only as tears

2/6: khushi

tera milna

khushi ki baat sahi

tujh se mil kar

udhaas rehta huun

meeting you

is surely a matter of joy

but after meeting you

i remain sad

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

3/6: khushi

tumhaare hisse ke jitne bhi

gham hain main le luun

mere naseeb ki har ek

khushi mile tum ko

may i take all the sorrows

that are meant for you

and may all the happiness

destined for me...be yours

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

4/6: khushi

na khushi achchi hai, aye dil

na malaal achcha hai

yaar jis haal me rakhe

wohi haal achcha hai

neither happiness is good, o heart,

nor is sadness

the state my beloved leaves me in

that state is good

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

5/6: khushi

na gila hai na shikaayat

mujhe bedaad ki hai

hai wahi meri khushi

jo mere sayyaad ki hai

neither complaint nor grievance

i have against the oppression

my happiness is in

what makes my captor happy

Theme:Oppression, Rebellion & Freedom (38)

6/6: khushi

khud ko paaya to

gham-e-aalam mein bhi khushi paayi

tanhaayi mein bhi

apni hi mehfil sajaayi

when I found myself

i found joy even in worldly sorrows

even in solitude

i arranged my own gathering
