roya karenge aap bhi pahron isi tarah
atka kahin jo aap ka dil bhi meri tarah

you too will end up weeping hours, in this very way
if your heart, like mine, is this entangled some day

aata nahin hai wo to kisi dhab se daw mein
banti nahin hai milne ki us ke koi tarah

she is not ensnared by any tactic i pursue
there is no way to meet her whatever i may do

tashbih kis se dun ki tarah-dar ki mere
sab se nirali waza hai sab se nai tarah

for my dearest one how do i find a similie
her manner is unique and new as no one else can be

mar chuk kahin ki tu gham-e-hijran se chhut jae
kahte to hain bhale ki wa-lekin buri tarah

"go die somewhere to get release from separation's pain"
she means well although she talks in a vicious vein

ne tab hijr mein hai na aaram wasl mein
kam-bakht dil ko chain nahin hai kisi tarah

no peace in separation, nor in union ease
this hapless heart is restless, do whatever i please

lagti hain galiyan bhi tere munh se kya bhali
qurban tere phir mujhe kah le usi tarah

even your abuse sounds sweet to my ears, its true
keep on in this tone and my life belongs to you

pamal hum na hote faqat jaur-e-charkh se
aai hamari jaan pe aafat kai tarah

i would not be trampled only by heaven's excess
my life indeed has undergone so many kinds of stress

ne jae wan bane hai na bin jae chain hai
kya kijiye hamein to hai mushkil sabhi tarah

neither can i go there, nor can i stay away
what can i do? i am constrained, each and every way

mashuq aur bhi hain bata de jahan mein
karta hai kaun zulm kisi par teri tarah

in this world, there'd surely be, other beloveds too
tell me is there anyone as cruel as you?

hun jaan-ba-lab butan-e-sitamgar ke hath se
kya sab jahan mein jite hain 'momin' isi tarah

my life hangs on edge due to these idol's cruelty
does everybody in this world momin live like me?
