izn-e-khiraam lete hue
aasmaan se hum
haT kar chale hain
raahguzar-e-kaarwaan se hum
taking permission to leave
from the heavens above
we parted ways from
the path of the caravan
Theme:Quest, Journey & Destination (44)
muflisi aur yeh mazaahir hain
nazar ke saamne
saikdon sultan-e-jaabir hain
poverty, these scenes of destitution
right in front of my eyes
countless emperors of tyranny
Theme:Oppression, Rebellion & Freedom (38)
mujh ko ye aarzoo
woh uThaayein naqaab khud
un ko ye intezaar
taqaaza kare koyi
it is my desire
that she lifts the veil herself
and she waits for
someone to request
Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)
ishq ka zauq-e-nazaara
muft mein hai badnaam
husn khud betaab hai
jalwa dikhaane ke liye
love gets a bad rap needlessly
for the pleasure of watching
though beauty herself is impatient
for her splendor to be seen
