mehrbāñ ho ke bulā lo mujhe chāho jis vaqt
maiñ gayā vaqt nahīñ huuñ ki phir aa bhī na sakūñ
being kind at any time you please, you can call out for me
for I am not like time once past, again can never be
zo.af meñ tāna-e-aġhyār kā shikva kyā hai
baat kuchh sar to nahīñ hai ki uThā bhī na sakūñ
of rival’s taunts, in weakened state, why should complaints unfold
’tis merely talk and not my head which I cannot uphold
zahr miltā hī nahīñ mujh ko sitamgar varna
kyā qasam hai tire milne kī ki khā bhī na sakūñ
O tyrant, poison is not found, else for my sorrow’s sake
is it a vow to never meet you that I cannot take?
is qadar zabt kahāñ hai kabhī aa bhī na sakūñ
sitam itnā to na kiije ki uThā bhī na sakūñ
lag ga.ī aag agar ghar ko to andesha kyā
sho.ala-e-dil to nahīñ hai ki bujhā bhī na sakūñ
tum na aaoge to marne kī haiñ sau tadbīreñ
maut kuchh tum to nahīñ ho ki bulā bhī na sakūñ
hañs ke bulvā.iye miT jā.egā sab dil kā gila
kyā tasavvur hai tumhārā ki miTā bhī na sakūñ
