ai mohabbat tire anjām pe ronā aayā

jaane kyuuñ aaj tire naam pe ronā aayā

Love your sad conclusion makes me weep

Wonder why your mention makes me weep

ai mohabbat tere anjam pe rona aaya

jaane kyun aaj tere nam pe rona aaya

Love your sad conclusion makes me weep

Wonder why your mention makes me weep

ab to ḳhushī ġham hai na ġham ḳhushī mujhe

be-his banā chukī hai bahut zindagī mujhe

ab to KHushi ka gham hai na gham ki KHushi mujhe

be-his bana chuki hai bahut zindagi mujhe

kaise kah duuñ ki mulāqāt nahīñ hotī hai

roz milte haiñ magar baat nahīñ hotī hai

kaise kah dun ki mulaqat nahin hoti hai

roz milte hain magar baat nahin hoti hai

un zikr un tamannā un yaad

vaqt kitnā qīmtī hai aaj kal

her mention, her yearning her memory

O how precious time now seems to me

un ka zikr un ki tamanna un ki yaad

waqt kitna qimti hai aaj kal

her mention, her yearning her memory

O how precious time now seems to me

mere ham-nafas mere ham-navā mujhe dost ban ke daġhā na de

maiñ huuñ dard-e-ishq se jāñ-ba-lab mujhe zindagī duā na de

My companion, my intimate, be not a friend and yet betray

The pain of love is fatal now, for my life please do not pray

mere ham-nafas mere ham-nawa mujhe dost ban ke dagha na de

main hun dard-e-ishq se jaan-ba-lab mujhe zindagi ki dua na de

My companion, my intimate, be not a friend and yet betray

The pain of love is fatal now, for my life please do not pray

jaane vaale se mulāqāt na hone paa.ī

dil dil meñ rahī baat na hone paa.ī

jaane wale se mulaqat na hone pai

dil ki dil mein hi rahi baat na hone pai

yuuñ to har shaam umīdoñ meñ guzar jaatī hai

aaj kuchh baat hai jo shaam pe ronā aayā

Every evening was, by hope, sustained

This evening's desperation makes me weep

yun to har sham umidon mein guzar jati hai

aaj kuchh baat hai jo sham pe rona aaya

Every evening was, by hope, sustained

This evening's desperation makes me weep

kabhī yak-ba-yak tavajjoh kabhī daf.atan taġhāful

mujhe aazmā rahā hai koī ruḳh badal badal kar

kabhi yak-ba-yak tawajjoh kabhi dafatan taghaful

mujhe aazma raha hai koi ruKH badal badal kar

mujhe dost kahne vaale zarā dostī nibhā de

ye mutālba hai haq koī iltijā nahīñ hai

mujhe dost kahne wale zara dosti nibha de

ye mutalba hai haq ka koi iltija nahin hai

unheñ apne dil ḳhabreñ mire dil se mil rahī haiñ

unhen apne dil ki KHabren mere dil se mil rahi hain

main jo un se ruTh jaun to payam tak na pahunche

mohabbat meñ milte haiñ shikāyat ke maze paiham

mohabbat jitnī baḌhtī hai shikāyat hotī jaatī hai

mohabbat hi mein milte hain shikayat ke maze paiham

mohabbat jitni baDhti hai shikayat hoti jati hai

mujhe to qaid-e-mohabbat aziiz thī lekin

kisī ne mujh ko giraftār kar ke chhoḌ diyā

mujhe to qaid-e-mohabbat aziz thi lekin

kisi ne mujh ko giraftar kar ke chhoD diya

mujhe chhoḌ de mere haal par tirā kyā bharosa hai chāragar

ye tirī navāzish-e-muḳhtasar merā dard aur baḌhā na de

Leave me to my present state, I do not trust your medicine

Your mercy minor though may be,might increase my pain today

mujhe chhoD de mere haal par tera kya bharosa hai chaaragar

ye teri nawazish-e-muKHtasar mera dard aur baDha na de

Leave me to my present state, I do not trust your medicine

Your mercy minor though may be,might increase my pain today

jab huā zikr zamāne meñ mohabbat 'shakīl'

mujh ko apne dil-e-nākām pe ronā aayā

mujh ko apne dil-e-nakaam pe rona aaya

Whenever talk of happiness I hear

My failure and frustration makes me weep
