aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
is zindagī meñ itnī farāġhat kise nasīb
itnā na yaad aa ki tujhe bhuul jaa.eñ ham
is zindagi mein itni faraghat kise nasib
itna na yaad aa ki tujhe bhul jaen hum
kab lauTā hai bahtā paanī bichhḌā sājan rūThā dost
ham ne us ko apnā jaanā jab tak haath meñ dāmāñ thā
kab lauTa hai bahta pani bichhDa sajan ruTha dost
hum ne us ko apna jaana jab tak hath mein daman tha
itnī pī jaa.e ki miT jaa.e maiñ aur tū kī tamīz
yaanī ye hosh kī dīvār girā dī jaa.e
the formality of you and I should in wine be drowned
meaning that these barriers of sobriety be downed
itni pi jae ki miT jae main aur tu ki tamiz
yani ye hosh ki diwar gira di jae
jab aa jaatī hai duniyā ghuum phir kar apne markaz par
to vāpas lauT kar guzre zamāne kyuuñ nahīñ aate
jab aa jati hai duniya ghum phir kar apne markaz par
to wapas lauT kar guzre zamane kyun nahin aate
kahūñ kis se maiñ ki kyā hai shab-e-ġham burī balā hai
mujhe kyā burā thā marnā agar ek baar hotā
of gloomy nights alone and sad, to whom should I complain?
Dying just once would not be bad, but each evening again?
kahun kis se main ki kya hai shab-e-gham buri bala hai
mujhe kya bura tha marna agar ek bar hota
