1/7: tamaam

darakht kaT gaya

lekin woh raabte, nasir

tamaam raat parinde

zameen pe baiThe rahe

the tree was cut down, nasir

but such was the bond

all night long, the birds

sat on the ground below

2/7: tamaam

main aisi raah pe nikla ki

meri khush-bakhti

tamaam umr meri khoj mein

bhaTakti rahi

i set out on such a path

that my good fortune

kept wandering in search

of me...all my life

3/7: tamaam

roshan jamaal-e-yaar se

hai anjuman tamaam

dahka hua hai aatish-e-gul se

chaman tamaam

the entire gathering was aglow

with the beauty of my beloved

just like the whole garden was ablaze

by the fire of the flower

4/7: tamaam

thi wasl mein bhi

fikr-e-judaai tamaam shab

vo aaye to bhi neend

na aayi tamaam shab

even in union

the fear of separation all night

when my beloved comes

sleep escapes me all night

5/7: tamaam

vo ek aks ki pal bhar

nazar mein Thehra tha

tamaam umr ka ab

silsila hai mere liye

that one reflection flashed

in my sight for just a moment

now for my entire life

it is a saga for me

6/7: tamaam

kuch iss tarah se

guzaari hai zindagi jaise

tamaam umr kisi

doosre ke ghar mein raha

in this way

life has passed

all the years

i lived in someone else’s home

7/7: tamaam

tamaam umr mera mujh se

ikhtilaaf rahaa

gila na kar jo kabhi

tera humnava na hua

my entire life, i struggled

and fought with myself

so, don’t complain that

i couldn’t be there for you
