maqbul hon na hon ye muqaddar ki baat hai
sajde kisi ke dar pe kiye ja raha hun main
whether or not accepted, it is up to fate
at her doorstep on and on, I myself prostrate
Josh Malsiani
aamal ki pursish na kar ai dawar-e-mahshar
majbur to muKHtar kabhi ho nahin sakta
Josh Malsiani
jis ko tum bhul gae yaad kare kaun us ko
jis ko tum yaad ho wo aur kise yaad kare
him whom you have forgotten who else will recall
he who thinks of you will think of no one else at all
Josh Malsiani
jhukti hai nigah us ki mujh se mil kar
diwar se dhup utar rahi hai goya
Josh Malsiani
ishq us dard ka nahin qail
jo musibat ki intiha na hua
Josh Malsiani
is wahm se ki nind mein aae na kuchh KHalal
ahbab zer-e-KHak sula kar chale gae
Josh Malsiani
gila na-mehrbani ka to sab se sun liya tum ne
tumhaari mehrbani ki shikayat hum bhi rakhte hain
Josh Malsiani
Dub jate hain umidon ke safine is mein
main na manunga ki aansu hai zara sa pani
when hope and aspirations drown in them so easily
that tears are just some water, how can I agree
Josh Malsiani
aur hote hain jo mahfil mein KHamosh aate hain
aandhiyan aati hain jab hazrat-e-'josh' aate hain
