1/5: shikaayat

rah gayi hai kuch kami to

kya shikaayat hai 'faheem'?

is jahaan mein sab adhuure hain

mukammal kaun hai?

if you are lacking something

why complain so much, faheem?

in this world, everyone is partly done

who is ever fully complete?

2/5: shikaayat

aarzoo hasrat aur

ummeed shikaayat aansu

ek tera zikr tha aur

beech mein kya kya nikla

wishes, desires, and

hopes, complaints, tears

thinking of you

what all have turned out

3/5: shikaayat

naheen shikaayat-e-hijraan ki

is vaasile se

hum un se rishta-e-dil

ustuvaar karte rahe

i never complained about

the separation for this reason

i kept nurturing this

relationship of the heart with her

4/5: shikaayat

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)

5/5: shikaayat

kis munh se karen un ke

taghaful ki shikaayat

khud hum ko mohabbat ka

sabaq yaad nahin hai

with what face can i

complain about her neglect

when i myself don’t remember

the essentials of love

Theme:Miscellany (44)
