aap jin ke qarib hote hain
wo bade khush-nasib hote hain

those who are close to you
are blessed it is true

jab tabiat kisi par aati hai
maut ke din qarib hote hain

when heart holds someone dear
the time of death is near

mujh se milna phir aap ka milna
aap kis ko nasib hote hain

my meeting, that too you?
to whom do you accrue

zulm sah kar jo uf nahin karte
un ke dil bhi ajib hote hain

who suffer yet don’t groan
strange are their hearts be known

ishq mein aur kuchh nahin milta
saikdon gham nasib hote hain

'nuh' ki qadr koi kya jaane
kahin aise adib hote hain
