1 / 5: Dagh Dehlvi
in aankhon ne kya kya tamasha
na dekha
haqeeqat mein jo dekhna tha
na dekha
what all fantasies have
these eyes seen
but the reality to be seen in front
that they couldn’t see

ye to naheen ki tum sa
jahaan mein haseen naheen
is dil ko kya karoon
ye bahaltaa kaheen naheen
it isn’t that there aren’t in this world
others more beautiful than you
but what to do with this heart
it is not pacified anywhere else

arz-e-ahvaal ko
gila samjhe
kya kaha main ne
aap kya samjhe
describing my condition
sounds a complaint to you
i say one thing
you construe something else

khoob parda hai ki
chilman se lage baithe hain
saaf chupte bhi nahin
saamne aate bhi nahin
wearing a fine veil
yet behind a lattice screen
she doesn't hide completely
nor does she come in front

baad muddat ke ye, aye dagh,
samajh mein aaya
wahi daana hai kaha
jis ne na maana dil ka
after a long time, dagh,
i have understood
the wise is the one who
did not follow heart’s command
