aur bhi dukh hain zamane mein mohabbat ke siwa
rahaten aur bhi hain wasl ki rahat ke siwa
sorrows other than love's longing does this life provide
comforts other than a lover's union too abide
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
aur kya dekhne ko baqi hai
aap se dil laga ke dekh liya
what else is there now for me to view
I have experienced being in love with you
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
dil se to har moamla kar ke chale the saf hum
kahne mein un ke samne baat badal badal gai
I ventured forth with all my thoughts properly arranged
In her presence when I spoke, the meaning had all changed
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
duniya ne teri yaad se begana kar diya
tujh se bhi dil-fareb hain gham rozgar ke
This world has caused me to forget all thoughts of you
The sorrows of subsistence are more deceitful than you
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
hum parwarish-e-lauh-o-qalam karte rahenge
jo dil pe guzarti hai raqam karte rahenge
We will nourish the pen and tablet; we will tend them ever
We will write what the heart suffers; we will defend them eve
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
jab tujhe yaad kar liya subh mahak mahak uThi
jab tera gham jaga liya raat machal machal gai
When your thoughts arose, fragrant was the morn
When your sorrow's woke, the night was all forlorn
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
sham-e-firaq ab na puchh aai aur aa ke Tal gai
dil tha ki phir bahal gaya jaan thi ki phir sambhal gai
Query not my lonely night it came and went away
The heart was consoled and life managed not to fray
Faiz Ahmad Faiz
