koi samjhe to ek baat kahun
ishq taufiq hai gunah nahin
if someone were to listen, one thing I will opine
Love is not a crime forsooth it is grace divine
Firaq Gorakhpuri
main hun dil hai tanhai hai
tum bhi hote achchha hota
my loneliness my heart and me
would be nice
Firaq Gorakhpuri
maut ka bhi ilaj ho shayad
zindagi ka koi ilaj nahin
for death a cure there well may be
but for this life no remedy
Firaq Gorakhpuri
na koi wada na koi yaqin na koi umid
magar hamein to tera intizar karna tha
no promise,surety, nor any hope was due
yet I had little choice but to wait for you
Firaq Gorakhpuri
pal le ek rog nadan zindagi ke waste
pal le ek rog sirf sehat ke sahaare
o foolish one for sake of living do adopt love's malady
heath alone is not enough,
Firaq Gorakhpuri
tum muKHatib bhi ho qarib bhi ho
tum ko dekhen ki tum se baat karen
close to me you are there
should I speak or should I stare/see
Firaq Gorakhpuri
tu yaad aaya tere jaur-o-sitam lekin na yaad aae
mohabbat mein ye masumi baDi mushkil se aati hai
You I did remember, your torments all forgot
such innocence in love, is with hardship wrought
Firaq Gorakhpuri
