kyunkar us but se rakhun jaan aziz
kyūñkar us but se rakhūñ jaan aziiz
kyā nahīñ hai mujhe īmān aziiz
how shall I keep life do say, from that idol free?
do you think that my faith and creed are not dear to me?
dil se niklā pe na niklā dil se
hai tire tiir kā paikān aziiz
though from my heart it did depart, yet it did not free
your arrow's pointed tip you see, is so dear to me
taab laa.e hī banegī 'ġhālib'
vāqi.a saḳht hai aur jaan aziiz
Gaalib forbearance needs be brought, somehow surely
the incident is grievous and, life is dear to me
kyunkar us but se rakhun jaan aziz
kya nahin hai mujhe iman aziz
how shall I keep life do say, from that idol free?
do you think that my faith and creed are not dear to me?
dil se nikla pe na nikla dil se
hai tere tir ka paikan aziz
though from my heart it did depart, yet it did not free
your arrow's pointed tip you see, is so dear to me
tab lae hi banegi 'ghaalib'
waqia saKHt hai aur jaan aziz
Gaalib forbearance needs be brought, somehow surely
the incident is grievous and, life is dear to me
