1 / 18: gham
saath mere tere jo dukh tha
so, pyaare, aish tha
jab se tu bichhDa hai
tab se aish sab gham ho gaya
with you beside me, my love,
even pain felt like joy
but from the moment you left
ever joy has turned into sorrow

ab ye aalam hai ke
gham ki bhi khabar hoti naheen
ashk bah jaate hain
lekin aankh tar hoti naheen
such is the state now
that even grief goes unnoticed
tears stream down
yet the eyes remain dry

kaun kisi ka
gham khaata hai?
kahne ko
ghamkhwaar hai duniya
who truly shares
anyone else's sorrow?
the world only
pretends to care

hayaat ek mustaqqil gham ke siwa
kuch bhi naheen
shaayad khushi bhi yaad aati hai toh
aansoon bankar aati hai
life is nothing
but endless sorrow
even joy, when remembered
returns, perhaps, only as tears

gham-e-zamaana ne
majboor kar diya warna
ye aarzoo thi ki
bas teri aarzoo karte
the sorrows of the world
have made me helpless
else, my only desire
was to desire only you

daanista ham ne apne
sabhi gham chhupaa liye
poocha kisi ne haal
to bas muskuraa diye
deliberately, knowingly
i hid all my sorrows
when someone asked how i was
i just smiled

tumhe is inquilaab-e-deher ka
kya gham hai, ai akbar
bahut nazdeek hain woh din
ke tum hoge na hum honge
why do you worry so much about
tumult and changes of the world, oh akbar
that day is near when
neither will you nor i be around

tujhe paane ki koshish mein
kuchh itna kho chuka huun main
ki tu mil bhi agar jaaye to
ab milne ka gham hoga
in my attempts to gain you
i have lost so much
even if you become mine
i will be sad about it

gham aur khushi mein
farak na mehsoos ho jaha
main dil ko us mukaam
pe laata chala gaya
where the difference between
joy and sorrow is not felt
i kept taking my heart to
that place again and again

agar dard-e-mohabbat se
na insaan aashna hota
na kuchh marne ka gham hota
na jeene ka maza hota
if one is not familiar
with the pain of love
he feels neither the sadness
of death nor the joy of life

sun ke saari
daastaan-e-ranj-o-gham
kah diya us ne ki
phir hum kya karen
after listening to my entire
story of sorrow and despair
she said
well, what can i do?

gham mujhe, hasrat mujhe
vahshat mujhe, saudaa mujhe
ek dil de kar khuda ne
de diya kya kya mujhe
sorrow, unfulfilled desires
craziness, passion, and frenzy
by giving me a heart, o god,
what all have you set me up with?

dil na-ummeed to nahi
nakaam hi to hai
lambi hai gham ki shaam
magar shaam hi to hai
the heart is not hopeless
just not sorted for now
long is the night of sorrow
yet, it is just a night (that'll pass)

jaanta hoon ek aise
shakhs ko mein bhi 'muneer'
gham se pathar ho gaya
lekin kabhi roya nahin
i too know of
one such person, ‘muneer’
whom sorrow has turned into a stone
but he never shed a tear

dil ko bhi gham ka
saleeqa na tha pahle pahle
us ko bhi bhoolna
accha laga pahle pahle
initially, the heart too did not know
the ways and methods of grief
initially, it felt good
for it to overlook, forget

aye gham-e-zindagi

mujh ko aadat hai
muskuraane ki
oh sorrow of life
don’t be angry
it is my habit
to smile

khud ko paaya to
gham-e-aalam mein bhi khushi paayi
tanhaayi mein bhi
apni hi mehfil sajaayi
when I found myself
i found joy even in worldly sorrows
even in solitude
i arranged my own gathering
