Meray mehboob ka andaaz kis ne daikha hai
Jo dikhta hai woh daikha tu kuch na daikha hai
Who has witnessed the beauty of my lover’s attitude?
If you saw what is portrayed then you have not seen anything
Dikhawa-e-pairhan hai dil-fareeb-o-nasheen
Gaib main jo chuppa hai woh itna haseen nahi hai
The garment of portrayal is very deceptive and heart breaking
The truth that is hidden behind curtains is not as beautiful
Jo samjhay khud ko Danaa ‘ ke woh sub hi janta hai
Koi us ko yeh bataye ‘ ke woh khuda nahi hai
The one who thinks of himself as wise thinking that he knows it all
Someone should make him realize that he is not GOD
Bheega teer-e-nikhat-e-wafa mara dil pe yuun zaalim
Us ka dil to darta tha’ mera to dil hi bhuj gaya hai
Immersing an arrow with the perfume of love, she struck my heart mercilessly
Her heart was just afraid of revealing the truth, but my heart in fact died!
Jurm jub hota hai to ke badal milti hai uski ik sazaa
kya kareen maktab-e-dastaan-e-jurm jo tu likh gaya hai
A sin, when committed is matched with its punishment
But what should be done about the long list of sins that you have written
Maine samjha tha ke likhon Qismat apni khud hi ‘mano’
Na samajh tha na jaanta tha ke Khuda Qismat Likh chukka hai
I had thought that I will choose my own destiny O ‘Mano’!
I was naïve, I didn’t realize that ALLAH has already written my destiny
