1/6: Ameer Minai

khanjar chale kisee pe

taDapte hain ham 'ameer'

saare jahaan ka dard

hamaare jigar mein hai

the dagger plunges into someone

and i am the one to suffer, ameer

the pain of the whole world

is gathered in my heart

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

2/6: Ameer Minai

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

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

3/6: Ameer Minai

ye bhi ek baat hai

adaavat ki

roza rakkha jo

ham ne daavat ki

another example

of her enmity

my beloved chose to fast

on the day i hosted a dinner

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

4/6: Ameer Minai

baad marne ki bhi na chhoDi

rifaaqat meri

meri turbat se lagi baithi hai

hasrat meri

even after my death

my love did not leave me

my desires stay shackled

to my grave

5/6: Ameer Minai

aafat to hai vo naaz bhi

andaaz bhi lekin

marta huun main jis par

vo adaa aur hi kuchh hai

catastrophes they sure are

those airs and those manners

that style and grace for which i die

oh, it is something else

Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)

6/6: Ameer Minai

hans ke farmaate hain

vo dekh ke haalat meri

kyuun tum aasaan samajhte the

mohabbat meri

looking at my condition

she asked, smiling,

why, did you think loving me

would be that easy?

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
