asar usko zara nahin hota

asar us ko zara nahin hota
ranj rahat-faza nahin hota

she remains unmoved and hard to please
my pain persists, does not provide release

bewafa kahne ki shikayat hai
to bhi wada-wafa nahin hota

she objects being labelled faithless still
not a single vow does she fulfil

zikr-e-aghyar se hua ma'lum
harf-e-naseh bura nahin hota

mention of my rivals made me know
the preacher's word isn't harsh somehow

kis ko hai zauq-e-talkh-kaami lek
jang bin kuchh maza nahin hota

.....................................................................
.....................................................................

tum hamare kisi tarah na hue
warna duniya mein kya nahin hota

your love by any means i could not gain
or else in life what would not one attain

us ne kya jaane kya kiya le kar
dil kisi kaam ka nahin hota

i wonder why she took my heart away
it is of no avail i've heard them say

imtihan kijiye mera jab tak
shauq zor-azma nahin hota

.....................................................................
.....................................................................

ek dushman ki charkh hai na rahe
tujh se ye ai dua nahin hota

that heavens be my enemy no more
this task, prayers, you cannot ensure

aah tul-e-amal hai roz-fuzun
garche ek muddaa nahin hota

my efforts daily multiply and yet
the only thing i want i do not get

tum mere pas hote ho goya
jab koi dusra nahin hota

in such a manner are you close to me
when no one else at all there ever be

haal-e-dil yar ko likhun kyunkar
hath dil se juda nahin hota

to her, how do i write my state of heart
from my heart my hand just cannot part

rahm kar khasm-e-jaan-e-ghair na ho
sab ka dil ek sa nahin hota

......................................................................
.......................................................................

daman us ka jo hai daraaz to ho
dast-e-ashiq rasa nahin hota

she may be generous, still it is in vain
a lover's hand does not ever attain

chaara-e-dil siwae sabr nahin
so tumhaare siwa nahin hota

no cure, save patience, can there ever be
and that, without you, will not come to me

kyun sune arz-e-muztar-e-'momin'
sanam aakhir khuda nahin hota

momin distressed pleas, why will she heed
a paramour she is, not god indeed
