mere ham-nafas mere ham-nawa mujhe dost ban ke dagha na de
main hun dard-e-ishq se jaan-ba-lab mujhe zindagi ki dua na de

My companion, my intimate, be not a friend and yet betray
The pain of love is fatal now, for my life please do not pray

mohabbat hi mein milte hain shikayat ke maze paiham
mohabbat jitni baDhti hai shikayat hoti jati hai

mujhe aa gaya yaqin sa ki yahi hai meri manzil
sar-e-rah jab kisi ne mujhe dafatan pukara

I then came to believe it was, my goal, my destiny
When someone in my path called out to me repeatedly

mujhe to qaid-e-mohabbat aziz thi lekin
kisi ne mujh ko giraftar kar ke chhoD diya

mushkil tha kuchh to ishq ki bazi ko jitna
kuchh jitne ke KHauf se haare chale gae

was difficult to win the game of love to a degree
and so I went on losing being afraid of victory

'shakil' is darja mayusi shuru-e-ishq mein kaisi
abhi to aur hona hai KHarab aahista aahista

sitam-nawazi-e-paiham hai ishq ki fitrat
fuzul husn pe tohmat lagai jati hai
