1 / 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

2 / 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

3 / 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
Theme: Heart, Mind & Memory (62)

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
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
