ranjish sahī dil dukhāne ke liye aa

ham ko un se vafā hai ummīd

jo nahīñ jānte vafā kyā hai

From her I hope for constancy

who knows it not, to my dismay

hum ko un se wafa ki hai ummid

jo nahin jaante wafa kya hai

From her I hope for constancy

who knows it not, to my dismay

tum achchha kar nahin sakte main achchha ho nahin sakta

zamāne bhar ke ġham ik tirā ġham

ye ġham hogā to kitne ġham na hoñge

your sorrow or a world of pain

if this be there none will remain

zamane bhar ke gham ya ek tera gham

ye gham hoga to kitne gham na honge

your sorrow or a world of pain

if this be there none will remain

Hafeez Hoshiarpuri

ho duur is tarah ki tirā ġham judā na ho

paas aa to yuuñ ki jaise kabhī milā na ho

ho dur is tarah ki tera gham juda na ho

pas aa to yun ki jaise kabhi tu mila na ho

Ahmad Faraz

dil sarāpā dard thā vo ibtidā-e-ishq thī

intihā ye hai ki 'fānī' dard ab dil ho gayā

dil sarapa dard tha wo ibtida-e-ishq thi

intiha ye hai ki 'fani' dard ab dil ho gaya

Fani Badayuni

ye hamīñ haiñ ki tirā dard chhupā kar dil meñ

kaam duniyā ke ba-dastūr kiye jaate haiñ

tis only I who with your ache, in my heart replete

silently the tasks assigned, do sincerely complete

ye hamin hain ki tera dard chhupa kar dil mein

kaam duniya ke ba-dastur kiye jate hain

tis only I who with your ache, in my heart replete

silently the tasks assigned, do sincerely complete

ye baat tark-e-ta.alluq ke ba.ad ham samjhe

kisī se tark-e-ta.alluq bhī ik ta.alluq hai

on breaking off relations, I did later find

that severed ties are truly, bonds of a another kind

ye baat tark-e-talluq ke baad hum samjhe

kisi se tark-e-talluq bhi ek talluq hai

on breaking off relations, I did later find
