ek raat dil-jalon ko ye aish-e-visal de
phir chahe aasman jahannam mein Dal de
just one night give these deprived the joy of company
thereafter if you wish merge paradise and purgatory
Jalal Lakhnavi
jis ne kuchh ehsan kiya ek bojh sar par rakh diya
sar se tinka kya utara sar pe chhappar rakh diya
anyone who did a favour placed a burden on my head
removed a straw from over me, and placed a mountain instead
Jalal Lakhnavi
na KHauf-e-ah buton ko na Dar hai nalon ka
baDa kaleja hai in dil dukhane walon ka
unafraid of soullful sighs, undaunted by the cries
these who break peoples hearts,
Jalal Lakhnavi
sari duniya ke ranj-o-gham de kar
muskurane ki baat karte ho
after giving me a world of pain
smiling then you ask me to remain
Javed Quraishi
aadmi aadmi se milta hai
dil magar kam kisi se milta hai
People meet each other, fairly frequently
But, meeting of hearts, seldom does one see
Jigar Moradabadi
dard o gham dil ki tabiat ban gae
ab yahan aaram hi aaram hai
the heart is accustomed to sorrow and pain
in lasting comfort now I can remain
Jigar Moradabadi
gudaz-e-ishq nahin kam jo main jawan na raha
wahi hai aag magar aag mein dhuan na raha
no longer am I young, love's passion still remains
the fire as yet burns, no smoke tho it contains
Jigar Moradabadi
