ki ishq fariyaad kunad

man-amdeh-am

I Have come

oh, alas,

so that love's complaint can be heard

I have come

so that seduction lays the foundation

dil sambhal to jaaegaa par sambhle nahiiN

tum hii koii rastaa dikhaao , na ?

bas yahii maiN chaahuuN koii baat karo

hai suunaa man tujh bin . aao , na ?

The heart should be cured, but it isn't

You just show me a way, won't you?

I just want some word from you.

Without you, my heart/soul is desolate. Come, won't you?

tore naam kar duuN jo bhii hai mujh meN

bole bole dil teraa naam mujh meN

All that is in me, I devote to you

Your name speaks, speaks (echoes) in (my) heart

ki ishq fariyaad kunad

ki naaz buniyaad kunad

man-amdeh-am

vaae , vaae !

man-amdeh-am

I have come

so that seduction lays the foundation,

I have come

Woe, alas!

I have come

ishq aamad o xemaa zad bɛh saHre dilam

zaNjiir-e-vafaa fikandeh dar paae dilam

ishq agar bɛh fariyaad-e-dil-e-maa naresad

ai vaae dilam , vaae dilam , vaae dilam

Love arrived and pitched camp in my heart

It threw fetters of devotion at my heart's feet

If love doesn’t heed the supplication of my heart

alas, woe, woe to my heart!

man-amdeh-am

vaae , vaae

phir kahaaN mil paaeNge ye lamHe Hasiin ?

ishq kis ne dekhaa hai yuuN goshaa nashiin ?

adhuure na rɛh jaaeN mere xaab kahiiN !

When our lives pass in utmost loneliness

where will we find these beautiful moments again?

Who has ever seen love sitting as a hermit?

Let my dreams never remain unfulfilled!

xvaahishoN meN raho

Dhalte raho

jaago to raat ye kahe aa bhii jaa baaNhoN meN

Live in desires!

Pour (yourself) (in them)!

When you awaken, the night shall say "come into my arms"!

vaqt haNsaae

gale lagaae

tere mere sab dard miTaae

Time makes (us) smile,

embraces us,

erases all our pains

roknaa chaahuuN , thaamnaa chaahuuN

ret kisii ke haath na aae

I want to hold it, to seize it

but one can't get his hand on sand

rang bhar duuN

yaa rɛhne hii duuN ?

kaise hue mere apne paraaye ?

Shall I color it,

or shall I let it stay?

How did it happen that my own have become strangers?
