1 / 8: Aarzoo Lakhnavi
had se Takraati hai jo shai
woh palaTti hai zaroor
khud bhi roenge
ghareebon ko rulaane waale
anything that crosses a limit
is bound to strike back
those who make the helpless weep
will one day cry themselves

bhole ban kar haal na poochh
bahte hain ashk to bahne do
jis se baDhe bechaini dil ki
aisi tasalli rahne do
spare me your innocent concern
if the tears are flowing, let them flow
set aside the consolation
which only worsens the ache within

nigaahen is qadar
qaatil ki...ufff ufff
adaaen is qadar
pyaari ki...tauba
her glances so deadly
oh gosh
and her charms so lovely
oh god

burii sarisht na badli
jagah badalne se
chaman mein aa ke bhi
kaanTa gulaab ho na saka
bad nature doesn't get better
by changing location
even by entering the garden
the thorn couldn't turn into a flower

shauq chaDhtii dhoop
jaataa waqt ghaTtii chaanv hai
baa-wafaa jo aaj hain
kal bewafa ho jaayenge
passion is like the rising sun
and with time, the shade diminishes
those who are loyal today
will become disloyal tomorrow

rahbar raahzan na ban jaaye
kahin is soch mein
chup khada hoon bhool kar
raaste mein manzil ka pata
hope the guide doesn’t
turn a robber
as i stand alone in the path
forgetting my destination

wafa tum se karenge
dukh sahenge naaz uThaayenge
jise aataa hai dil dena
use har kaam aataa hai
will bear faith
suffer sorrow, endure haughtiness
he who knows to give his heart
can get anything done

poocha jo un se
chaand nikalta hai kis tarah
zulfon ko rukh pe daal ke
jhatka diya ki yuun
when i asked her
from where does the moon rise
she covered her face with curls
and tossed them to say…here
