न शिकवा है कोई
na shikvaa hai koii
Touch on each word to display its meaning
न शिकवा है कोई
There is no reproach
न शिकवा है कोई , न कोई गिला है [ x3 ]
सलामत रहे तू यह मेरी दुआ है
न शिकवा है कोई
There is no reproach, no complaint at all [x3]
May you stay safe—that’s my only prayer.
There is no reproach
बहुत ही कठिन हैं , मोहब्बत की राहें [ x2 ]
ज़रा बच के चलन ज़मान बुरा है
न शिकवा है कोई
So treacherous are the paths of affection [x2]
Walk with a little caution—the world is cruel.
There is no reproach
ओ ,
अजब तेरे महफ़िल में देखा तमाशा
कही रौशनी है , कही है अंधेरा
[ both lines x2 ]
Oh,
In your court’s spectacle, I saw strange sights,
Somewhere there’s light, somewhere there’s darkness.
[Both lines x2]
मुक़द्दर चिराग़ों के , बदले हुए है [ x2 ]
कोई बुझ रहा है कोई जल रहा है
न शिकवा है कोई
Destiny’s lamps have been swapped [x2]
Some are flickering out, some still burn.
There is no reproach
ओ ,
मुबारक तुझे हो , तेरे दिल की दुनिया
मेरी ज़िन्दगी का कोई ग़म न करन
[ both lines x2 ]
Oh,
Blessings upon the world inside your heart—
May it never grieve for sorrows of my life.
[Both lines x2]
ये सब गर्दिशें है नसीबों के प्यारे [ x2 ]
न मेरी ख़ता है , न तेरी ख़ता है
न शिकवा है कोई
These are just the whims of fate, my dear [x2]
It’s not my fault, nor is it yours.
There is no reproach

na shikvaa hai koii (Hindi: न शिकवा है कोई, Urdu: نَہ شَکْوَہ ہے کوئی) is a song released for the 1955 Bollywood film "Amar".
This song is a lyrical monologue by Anjali or Anju (Madhubala), where she—in an act of tragic nobility—renounces her love for the protagonist Amar (Dilip Kumar) to avoid breaking his marriage. The scene shows her silent pain and her acceptance without reproach ("There is no reproach"), elevating suffering into an ethical gesture.
The singer is Lata Mangeshkar, who performs with a serene yet fragile tone, reflecting the inner strength of the character Anjali/Anju, portrayed by Madhubala.
The music for this song was composed by Naushad, and the lyrics were written by Shakeel Badayuni.
