na khushi achchi hai, aye dil
na malaal achcha hai
yaar jis haal me rakhe
wohi haal achcha hai
neither happiness is good, o heart,
nor is sadness
the state my beloved leaves me in
that state is good
happiness
sorrow, grief, regret
friend, beloved
plight, condition
Theme: Love, Passion and Longing (107)

aankhen khuda ne di hain
to dekhenge husn-e-yaar
kab tak naqaab
rukh se uThaayi na jaayegi
god has given us eyes
to view the beauty of the beloved
how long will the veil
not be lifted from the face

remains just as ever

mohabbat rang de jaati hai
jab dil dil se milta hai
magar masla to ye hai
dil baDi mushkil se milta hai
love makes life colorful
when two hearts meet
but what is difficult
is for two hearts to meet

koi kya jaane ki hai
roz-e-qayaamat kya cheez
doosra naam hai
meri shab-e-tanhai ka
what does anyone know
about the day of apocalypse
it is another name for
my night of loneliness

hoti kahan hai dil se judaa
dil ki aarzoo
jaata kahan hai shama ko
parvaana chhoD kar
where does the heart
separate from its own desires?
where does the moth go
leaving the flame behind?

jaate ho, khuda-haafiz
haan, itni guzaarish hai
jab yaad ham aa jaayen
milne ki dua karna
as you leave, goodbye, but
a small request of you
when i come to your mind
do pray for us to meet again
goodbye; god protect you
request
memory, remember
blessing, prayer

jab main chalun to
saaya bhi apna na saath de
jab tum chalo
zameen chale aasmaan chale
when i go, not even my shadow
keeps me company
when you go
the earth follows, the sky follows
