kuchh bala aur kuchh sitam hi sahi
kuchh balā aur kuchh sitam hī sahī
ishq meñ furqat-e-sanam hī sahī
So what if there is a little trouble and little cruelty
So what if in love, there is separation from the beloved
jis ko chāheñ use ḳhushī de deñ
mere hisse meñ un ke ġham hī sahī
He can bestow happiness on whoever he wants
So what if he has apportioned sorrows for me
kitnī vīrān hai sadāqat bhī
but-kada gar nahīñ haram hī sahī
How desolate is truthfulness too
For the gallows today there is only me
merī ḳhuddāri-e-vafā dekho
sar jhukāne se sar qalam hī sahī
I must bow my head in worship, once here
So what if it isn't a temple but the Kaaba
zindagī aaj terā lutf o karam
kam agar hai to aaj kam hī sahī
Look at my self-respect even in love
So what if I have my head axed for not bowing
jaise mumkin ho baat rakh lenā
'indirā' kā zarā bharam hī sahī
The savour and mercy of life is so
So what if it is so less, so it is
kuchh bala aur kuchh sitam hi sahi
ishq mein furqat-e-sanam hi sahi
So what if there is a little trouble and little cruelty
So what if in love, there is separation from the beloved
jis ko chahen use KHushi de den
mere hisse mein un ke gham hi sahi
He can bestow happiness on whoever he wants
So what if he has apportioned sorrows for me
kitni viran hai sadaqat bhi
but-kada gar nahin haram hi sahi
How desolate is truthfulness too
For the gallows today there is only me
meri KHuddari-e-wafa dekho
sar jhukane se sar qalam hi sahi
I must bow my head in worship, once here
So what if it isn't a temple but the Kaaba
zindagi aaj tera lutf o karam
kam agar hai to aaj kam hi sahi
Look at my self-respect even in love
So what if I have my head axed for not bowing
jaise mumkin ho baat rakh lena
'indira' ka zara bharam hi sahi
The savour and mercy of life is so
So what if it is so less, so it is
