lagta nahin hai dil mera ujDe dayar mein
Interesting Fact
Film: Lal Quila 1960
lagtā nahīñ hai dil mirā ujḌe dayār meñ
kis kī banī hai ālam-e-nā-pā.edār meñ
my heart wanders ill at ease / in this ravaged reign
who has found fruition / in transient terrain
in hasratoñ se kah do kahīñ aur jā baseñ
itnī jagah kahāñ hai dil-e-dāġh-dār meñ
tell these woeful wishes to / go elsewhere and remain
this heart has little room as it / is scarred and full of pain
kāñToñ ko mat nikāl chaman se o bāġhbāñ
ye bhī guloñ ke saath pale haiñ bahār meñ
from throwing throns out of the vale, O gardener, abstain
they too grew, along with flowers, during spring's domain
bulbul ko bāġhbāñ se na sayyād se gila
qismat meñ qaid likkhī thī fasl-e-bahār meñ
neither to the groundsman nor / to hunter does complain
for songbird to be caged, in spring, did destiny ordain
kitnā hai bad-nasīb 'zafar' dafn ke liye
do gaz zamīn bhī na milī kū-e-yār meñ
say how ill-starred is 'zafar', that he could not obtain
e'en two yards, to be interred, in his beloved's lane
lagta nahin hai dil mera ujDe dayar mein
kis ki bani hai aalam-e-na-paedar mein
my heart wanders ill at ease / in this ravaged reign
who has found fruition / in transient terrain
in hasraton se kah do kahin aur ja basen
itni jagah kahan hai dil-e-dagh-dar mein
tell these woeful wishes to / go elsewhere and remain
this heart has little room as it / is scarred and full of pain
kanTon ko mat nikal chaman se o baghban
ye bhi gulon ke sath pale hain bahaar mein
from throwing throns out of the vale, O gardener, abstain
they too grew, along with flowers, during spring's domain
bulbul ko baghban se na sayyaad se gila
qismat mein qaid likkhi thi fasl-e-bahaar mein
neither to the groundsman nor / to hunter does complain
for songbird to be caged, in spring, did destiny ordain
kitna hai bad-nasib 'zafar' dafn ke liye
do gaz zamin bhi na mili ku-e-yar mein
say how ill-starred is 'zafar', that he could not obtain
e'en two yards, to be interred, in his beloved's lane
