rahiye ab aisi jagah chal kar jahan koi na ho

rahiye ab aisi jagah chal kar jahan koi na ho
ham-sukhan koi na ho aur ham-zaban koi na ho
to go and live in such a place where no one else should be
no one there to share one's thoughts no soul for company
be-dar-o-diwar sa ek ghar banaya chahiye
koi ham-saya na ho aur pasban koi na ho
one should build an open house, no walls nor doors to see
no neighbours to surround nor guards for security
padiye gar bimar to koi na ho timardar
aur agar mar jaiye to nauha-khwan koi na ho
if perchance one were to ail no one to remedy
and if one were to die no one to weep for thee

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aaya

phir mujhe dida-e-tar yaad aaya
dil jigar tishna-e-fariyaad aaya
i remember my moistened eyes again
my heart's thirsty longing and my pain
dam liya tha na qayamat ne hanuz
phir tera waqt-e-safar yaad aaya
barely did doomsday cease to be
the time of your parting came to me
sadgi-ha-e-tamanna yani
phir wo nairang-e-nazar yaad aaya
the innocence of my wishes, surprise
again i think of fascinating eyes
uzr-e-wamandagi ai hasrat-e-dil
nala karta tha jigar yaad aaya
heart's longing, weariness the reason, find
i would have pled but patience came to mind
zindagi yun bhi guzar hi jati
kyun tera rahguzar yaad aaya
life would in any case pass by and by
your street i now recall, tell me why
kya hi rizwan se ladai hogi
ghar tera khuld mein gar yaad aaya
where is the courage now to plead at all
sick of the heart my patience i recall
aah wo jurat-e-fariyaad kahan
dil se tang aa ke jigar yaad aaya
my thought now goes back to your lane
my missing heart i think of now again
phir tere kuche ko jata hai khayal
dil-e-gum-gashta magar yaad aaya
what kind of desolation there this be
home comes to mind the desert when i see
koi virani si virani hai
dasht ko dekh ke ghar yaad aaya
what fight with heaven's doorman there will be
whoughts of your house, if there, trouble me
main ne majnun pe ladakpan mein 'asad'
sang uthaya tha ki sar yaad aaya
when in youth, on majnuu.n's head, a stone
i heft to cast, i then recalled my own

na kisi ki aankh ka nur hun na kisi ke dil ka qarar hun

na kisi ki aankh ka nur hun na kisi ke dil ka qarar hun
kasi kaam mein jo na aa sake main wo ek musht-e-ghubar hun
i'm not the light of any eye, for me none has a care
no use to anyone am i, dust merely scattered there
na dawa-e-dard-e-jigar hun main na kisi ki mithi nazar hun main
na idhar hun main na udhar hun main na shakeb hun na qarar hun
i'm no song of blithe intent,why should ears be lent
i am a pain-laden lament, i'm just a plaintive prayer
mera waqt mujh se bichhad gaya mera rang-rup bigad gaya
jo khizan se bagh ujad gaya main usi ki fasl-e-bahaar hun
my face is truly ugly, scarred, from love i have been barred
the product of a garden marred, in midst of bloom laid bare
pae fatiha koi aae kyun koi chaar phul chadhae kyun
koi aa ke shama jalae kyun main wo bekasi ka mazar hun
why should people come and mourn, with flowers why adorn
incense too why should they burn, at a tomb of deep despair
na main lag hun na lagaw hun na suhag hun na subhaw hun
jo bigad gaya wo banaw hun jo nahin raha wo singar hun
---
---
main nahin hun naghma-e-jaan-faza mujhe sun ke koi karega kya
main bade birog ki hun sada main bade dukhi ki pukar hun
na main 'muztar' un ka habib hun na main 'muztar' un ka raqib hun
jo bigad gaya wo nasib hun jo ujad gaya wo dayar hun

main zindagi ka sath nibhata chala gaya

main zindagi ka sath nibhata chala gaya
har fikr ko dhuen mein udata chala gaya
barbaadiyon ka sog manana fuzul tha
barbaadiyon ka jashn manata chala gaya
jo mil gaya usi ko muqaddar samajh liya
jo kho gaya main us ko bhulata chala gaya
gham aur khushi mein farq na mahsus ho jahan
main dil ko us maqam pe lata chala gaya
