dil siyah hai baal hain sab apne piri mein safed
ghar ke andar hai andhera aur bahar chandni
in old age my heart is black and my hair is white
the house as though is dark inside, outside there is starlight
Imam Bakhsh Nasikh
furqat qubul rashk ke sadme nahin qubul
kya aaen hum raqib teri anjuman mein hai
Imam Bakhsh Nasikh
furqat-e-yar mein insan hun main ya ki sahab
har baras aa ke rula jati hai barsat mujhe
Imam Bakhsh Nasikh
gaya wo chhoD kar raste mein mujh ko
ab us ka naqsh-e-pa hai aur main hun
Imam Bakhsh Nasikh
go tu milta nahin par dil ke taqaze se hum
roz ho aate hain sau bar tere kuche mein
Imam Bakhsh Nasikh
aane mein sada der lagate hi rahe tum
jate rahe hum jaan se aate hi rahe tum
Delay in arriving always managed to contrive
this world I was leaving, yet you didn't arrive
Imam Bakhsh Nasikh
hum zaifon ko kahan aamad o shud ki taqat
aankh ki band hua kucha-e-jaanan paida
Imam Bakhsh Nasikh
hir-phir ke daere hi mein rakhta hun main qadam
aai kahan se gardish-e-parkar panw mein
Imam Bakhsh Nasikh
ho gae dafn hazaron hi gul-andaz is mein
is liye KHak se hote hain gulistan paida
Imam Bakhsh Nasikh
