na shikvaa hai koii
Touch on each word to display its meaning
na shikvaa hai koii
There is no reproach
na shikvaa hai koii , na koii gilaa hai [ x3 ]
salaamat rahe tuu ye merii duaa hai
na shikvaa hai koii
There is no reproach, no complaint at all [x3]
May you stay safe—that’s my only prayer.
There is no reproach
bahut hii kaThin haiN , moHabbatt kii raaheN [ x2 ]
zaraa bach ke chalan zamaan buraa hai
na shikvaa hai koii
So treacherous are the paths of affection [x2]
Walk with a little caution—the world is cruel.
There is no reproach
o ,
ajab tere maHfil meN dekhaa tamaashaa
kahii raushnii hai , kahii hai andheraa
[ both lines x2 ]
Oh,
In your court’s spectacle, I saw strange sights,
Somewhere there’s light, somewhere there’s darkness.
[Both lines x2]
muqaddar chiraaGoN ke , badle hue hai [ x2 ]
koii bujh rahaa hai koii jal rahaa hai
na shikvaa hai koii
Destiny’s lamps have been swapped [x2]
Some are flickering out, some still burn.
There is no reproach
o ,
mubaarak tujhe ho , tere dil kii duniyaa
merii zindagii kaa koii Gam na karan
[ both lines x2 ]
Oh,
Blessings upon the world inside your heart—
May it never grieve for sorrows of my life.
[Both lines x2]
ye sab gardisheN hai nasiiboN ke pyaare [ x2 ]
na merii xataa hai , na terii xataa hai
na shikvaa hai koii
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.
