gul phenke hai auron ki taraf balki samar bhi

gul phenke hai auron ki taraf balki samar bhi
ai khana-bar-andaz-e-chaman kuchh to idhar bhi

not just flowers, fruits as well, at others do you throw
o wastrel of the garden, some, this way too bestow

kya zid hai mere sath khuda jaane wagarna
kafi hai tasalli ko meri ek nazar bhi

god would know, as why with me, she is so obstinate
or else, for my contentment, just a glance is adequate

ai abr qasam hai tujhe rone ki hamare
tujh chashm se tapka hai kabhu lakht-e-jigar bhi

o nimbus cloud do swear upon / my tears and my sighs
have pieces of a broken heart / dripped ever from your eyes?

ai nala sad afsos jawan marne pe tere
paya na tanik dekhne tin ru-e-asar bhi

o lament! your youthful death / a hundred times i grieve
the slightest hint, of consequence, i did not receive

kis hasti-e-mauhum pe nazan hai tu ai yar
kuchh apne shab-o-roz ki hai tuj ko khabar bhi

tanha tere matam mein nahin sham-e-siyah-posh
rahta hai sada chaak gareban-e-sahar bhi

the night's black garb is not alone / there in your lament
the ever-tattered collar of / the dawn too is present

'sauda' teri fariyaad se aankhon mein kati raat
aai hai sahar hone ko tuk tu kahin mar bhi

'sauda', up in pleas and prayers, all night long you lie
dawn is round the corner, you might as well now die
