1/3: shikwa

kitna naadim huun

kisi shakhs se shikwa kar ke

mujh se dekha na gaya

us ka pashemaan hona

how regretful i am

after complaining to someone

i couldn't bear to

seem them be repentant

2/3: shikwa

ahbaab ka shikwa kya kijiye

khud zaahir-o-baatin ek nahin

lub oopar oopar hanste hain

dil andar andar rota hai

what use complaining of friends, when

what’s visible and hidden are different

their lips seem to smile

while they are weeping inside

3/3: shikwa

kis se shikwa karen

veeraane-e-hasti ka, 'hayat'

ham ne khud apni

tamannaaon ko jeene na diya

to whom will i complain, hayat,

about this life of desolation

i myself did not let my

aspirations live and thrive
