aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
vafā jis se kī bevafā ho gayā
jise but banāyā ḳhudā ho gayā
I was constant but she eschewed fidelity
the one I idolized, alas, claimed divinity
wafa jis se ki bewafa ho gaya
jise but banaya KHuda ho gaya
ilm meñ jhīñgur se baḌh kar kāmrāñ koī nahīñ
chaaT jaatā hai kitābeñ imtihāñ koī nahīñ
ilm mein jhingur se baDh kar kaamran koi nahin
chaT jata hai kitaben imtihan koi nahin
havā ḳhafā thī magar itnī sañg-dil bhī na thī
hamīñ ko sham.a jalāne kā hausla na huā
hawa KHafa thi magar itni sang-dil bhi na thi
hamin ko shama jalane ka hausla na hua
jab maiñ kahtā huuñ ki yā allāh merā haal dekh
hukm hotā hai ki apnā nāma-e-āmāl dekh
when I seek to say, O Lord look at my state
he bids me to the account of my deeds to date
jab main kahta hun ki ya allah mera haal dekh
hukm hota hai ki apna nama-e-amal dekh
dāman se vo poñchhtā hai aañsū
rone kā kuchh aaj hī mazā hai
daman se wo ponchhta hai aansu
rone ka kuchh aaj hi maza hai
