aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
ham aah bhī karte haiñ to ho jaate haiñ badnām
vo qatl bhī karte haiñ to charchā nahīñ hotā
I do suffer slander, when I merely sigh
she gets away with murder, no mention of it nigh
hum aah bhi karte hain to ho jate hain badnam
wo qatl bhi karte hain to charcha nahin hota
ek dil hai aur tūfān-e-havādis ai 'jigar'
ek shīsha hai ki har patthar se Takrātā huuñ maiñ
ek dil hai aur tufan-e-hawadis ai 'jigar'
ek shisha hai ki har patthar se Takraata hun main
jise anjām tum samajhtī ho
ibtidā hai kisī kahānī kī
jise anjam tum samajhti ho
ibtida hai kisi kahani ki
hameñ yaad rakhnā hameñ yaad karnā
agar koī taaza sitam yaad aa.e
hamein yaad rakhna hamein yaad karna
agar koi taza sitam yaad aae
kāñToñ se dil lagāo jo tā-umr saath deñ
phūloñ kā kyā jo saañs kī garmī na sah sakeñ
befriend the thorns for they will be loyal until death
what of these flowers that will wilt with just a burning breath
kanTon se dil lagao jo ta-umr sath den
phulon ka kya jo sans ki garmi na sah saken
