1 / 6: Ameer Minai
ye bhi ek baat hai
adaavat ki
roza rakkha jo
ham ne daawat ki
another example
of her enmity
my beloved chose to fast
on the day i hosted a dinner

ulfat mein baraabar hai
wafa ho ki jafa ho
har baat mein lazzat hai
agar dil mein mazaa ho
loyalty and tyranny
both are equals in love
when there is joy in the heart
every (spoken) word is delightful

hans ke farmaate hain
vo dekh ke haalat meri
kyuun tum aasaan samajhte the
mohabbat meri
looking at my condition
she asked, smiling,
why, did you think loving me
would be that easy?

baad marne ki bhi na chhoDi
rifaaqat meri
meri turbat se lagi baithi hai
hasrat meri
even after my death
my love did not leave me
my desires stay shackled
to my grave

khanjar chale kisee pe
taDapte hain ham 'ameer'
saare jahaan ka dard
hamaare jigar mein hai
the dagger plunges into someone
and i am the one to suffer, ameer
the pain of the whole world
is gathered in my heart

aafat to hai vo naaz bhi
andaaz bhi lekin
marta huun main jis par
vo adaa aur hi kuchh hai
catastrophes they sure are
those airs and those manners
that style and grace for which i die
oh, it is something else
calamity, catastrophe, disaster
grace, pride, hauteur
mannerism, style
style, grace
