aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
kahūñ kis se maiñ ki kyā hai shab-e-ġham burī balā hai
mujhe kyā burā thā marnā agar ek baar hotā
of gloomy nights alone and sad, to whom should I complain?
Dying just once would not be bad, but each evening again?
kahun kis se main ki kya hai shab-e-gham buri bala hai
mujhe kya bura tha marna agar ek bar hota
ek aañsū ne Duboyā mujh ko un kī bazm meñ
buuñd bhar paanī se saarī aabrū paanī huī
a single tear caused my fall in her company
just a drop of water drowned my dignity
ek aansu ne Duboya mujh ko un ki bazm mein
bund bhar pani se sari aabru pani hui
kaifiyyat-e-chashm us kī mujhe yaad hai 'saudā'
sāġhar ko mire haath se liijo ki chalā maiñ
kaifiyyat-e-chashm us ki mujhe yaad hai 'sauda'
saghar ko mere hath se lijo ki chala main
sair kar duniyā kī ġhāfil zindagānī phir kahāñ
zindagī gar kuchh rahī to ye javānī phir kahāñ
sair kar duniya ki ghafil zindagani phir kahan
zindagi gar kuchh rahi to ye jawani phir kahan
nāhaq ham majbūroñ par ye tohmat hai muḳhtārī kī
chāhte haiñ so aap kareñ haiñ ham ko abas badnām kiyā
Us weak, she wrongfully accuses, of taking untold liberty
while she acts as she chooses, and maligns us needlessly
nahaq hum majburon par ye tohmat hai muKHtari ki
chahte hain so aap karen hain hum ko abas badnam kiya
