1/5: Ibn-e-Insha

vo raaten chaand ke saath gayin

vo baaten chaand ke saath gayin

ab sukh ke sapne kya dekhen

jab dukh ka sooraj sar par ho

those nights have gone with the moon

those words have gone with the moon

how can i now see dreams of happiness

with the searing sun of sorrow on my head

2/5: Ibn-e-Insha

kal chaudhvin ki raat thi

shab bhar raha charcha tera

kuchh ne kaha ye chaand hai

kuchh ne kaha chehra tera

‘twas full moon last night

with all the talk about you

some said it was the moon

others said it was you

3/5: Ibn-e-Insha

insha-ji ab ajnabiyon mein

chain se baaqi umr kaaTe

jin ki khaatir basti chhoDi

naam na lo un pyaaron ka

insha, spend the rest of your life

in peace among strangers

the loved ones for whom you

left your town, think not about them

4/5: Ibn-e-Insha

apni zabaan se kuchh na kahenge

chup hi rahenge aashiq log

tum se to itna ho sakta hai

poochho haal bechaaron ka

they won’t open their mouths

those who love you will say nothing

if it is possible for you, at least

ask the condition of the poor souls

5/5: Ibn-e-Insha

ye kisi naam ka naheen hota

ye kisi dhaam ka naheen hota

pyaar mein jab talak naheen TuuTe

dil kisi kaam ka naheen hota

it is not worth mentioning

not does it belong anywhere

until it breaks for the sake of love

this heart is of no use anywhere
