juun mauj haath maariye
kya bahr-e-ishq mein
saahil, 'naseer', duur hai
aur dam naheen raha
like a wave, for how long can i
swim in this ocean of love
the shore, 'naseer', is far away
and i have no breath left

4 / 8: dam
lutf-e-shab-e-mah, ai dil
us dam mujhe haasil ho
ek chaand baghal mein ho
ek chaand muqaabil ho
o heart, may i capture and relish
that moon-filled night for a moment
a moon with me
and another in front

koi dam ka mehmaan hoon
aye ahl-e-mehfil
charaagh-e-sahar hoon
bujha chaahataa hoon
i am a guest for a few moments
oh, companions of the gathering
i am the lamp at dawn
and i wish to fade away

6 / 8: dam
zabt karta huun to
ghuThta hai qafas mein mera dam
aah karta huun to
sayyaad khafa hota hai
if i restrain myself and submit
i suffocate in this cage
if i sigh and complain
my captor becomes irate

waqt karta hai
parvarish barson
haadsa ek dam
naheen hota
time nurtures
things for years
a disaster never
happens suddenly

unhen ye fikr hai har dam
nayi tarz-e-jafaa kya hai
hamein ye shauq hai
dekhen sitam ki intehaa kya hai
they worry day and night about
inventing new methods of cruelty
while we are passionately keen
to see the limits of their tyranny
