talatum ka ehsan kyun hum uThaen
hamein Dubne ko kinara bahut hai
why should I take a favour, from the stormy sea
to sink the shoreside shallows do suffice for me
Sahir Bhopali
hum ko aghyar ka gila kya hai
zaKHm khaen hain hum ne yaron se
why should enemies be my reason to complain
when at the hands of friends, I have suffered pain

apni tabahiyon ka mujhe koi gham nahin
tum ne kisi ke sath mohabbat nibha to di
at my own destruction I do not moan or weep
for faith at least with someone, you managed to keep

e piye hi sharab se nafrat
ye jahaalat nahin to phir kya hai
without drinking, to abhor wine so
what is this if not igorant stupidity
Sahir Ludhianvi
jaan-e-tanha pe guzar jaen hazaron sadme
aankh se ashk rawan hon ye zaruri to nahin
countless calamities may this lonely soull befall
thse eyes shed copious tears is not a must at all
Sahir Ludhianvi
kaun rota hai kisi aur ki KHatir ai dost
sab ko apni hi kisi baat pe rona aaya
who does ever weep for others' sake my friend
everybody cries
Sahir Ludhianvi
