aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
vo shāyad koī sachchī baat kah de
use phir bad-gumāñ karnā paḌā hai
wo shayad koi sachchi baat kah de
use phir bad-guman karna paDa hai
ishq ma.ashūq ishq āshiq hai
yaanī apnā hī mubtalā hai ishq
both lover and beloved be
love's self-involved entirely
ishq mashuq ishq aashiq hai
yani apna hi mubtala hai ishq
ishq par zor nahīñ hai ye vo ātish 'ġhālib'
ki lagā.e na lage aur bujhā.e na bane
Love is not in one's control, this is that fire roused
It cannot be willed to ignite, nor can it be doused
ishq par zor nahin hai ye wo aatish 'ghaalib'
ki lagae na lage aur bujhae na bane
lab-e-shīrīñ se agar ho na terā lab shīrīñ
kohkan tū bhī to ab dāman-e-kohsār na chhoḌ
lab-e-shirin se agar ho na tera lab shirin
kohkan tu bhi to ab daman-e-kohsar na chhoD
kahīñ ḳhulūs kahīñ dostī kahīñ pe vafā
baḌe qarīne se ghar ko sajā ke rakhte haiñ
kahin KHulus kahin dosti kahin pe wafa
baDe qarine se ghar ko saja ke rakhte hain
