1/6: wafaa

wafaa ki aad mein

kya kya hui jafaa hum par

jo dosti yahi Thahri

to dushmani kya hai?

under the guise of loyalty

so much cruelty inflicted upon us

if this is friendship

what then is enmity?

2/6: wafaa

mohabbat, adaawat

wafa, be-rukhee

kiraae ke ghar the

badalte rahe

love, hatred

faithfulness, indifference

it was a rented house

kept changing

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)

3/6: wafaa

duniya ke sitam yaad

na apni hi wafa yaad

ab mujh ko nahin kuchh bhi

mohabbat ke siwa yaad

i remember neither the world’s cruelty

nor my own faithful toiling

i don’t now remember anything

but my love

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)

4/6: wafaa

ulfat mein baraabar hai

wafa ho ki jafa ho

har baat mein lazzat hai

agar dil mein mazaa ho

loyalty and tyranny

both are equals in love

when there is joy in the heart

every (spoken) word is delightful

5/6: wafaa

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)

6/6: wafaa

tumhaare ahd-e-wafa ko

main ahd kya samjhoon

mujhe khud apni

mohabbat pe eitbaar naheen

your promise of faithfulness

how should i understand it

when i have no faith

in my own love
