نَہ شَکْوَہ ہے کوئی
na shikvaa hai koii
Touch on each word to display its meaning
نَہ شَکْوَہ ہے کوئی
There is no reproach
نَہ شَکْوَہ ہے کوئی ، نَہ کوئی گِلہ ہے [ x3 ]
سلامت رَہے تُو یہ میری دُعا ہے
نَہ شَکْوَہ ہے کوئی
There is no reproach, no complaint at all [x3]
May you stay safe—that’s my only prayer.
There is no reproach
بَہُت ہی کٹھِن ہَیں ، مُحَبَّت کی راہیں [ x2 ]
ذرا بچ کے چَلَن زمان بُرا ہے
نَہ شَکْوَہ ہے کوئی
So treacherous are the paths of affection [x2]
Walk with a little caution—the world is cruel.
There is no reproach
او ،
عجب تیرے محفِل میں دیکھا تَماشا
کہی رَوشنی ہے ، کہی ہے اندھیرا
[ both lines x2 ]
Oh,
In your court’s spectacle, I saw strange sights,
Somewhere there’s light, somewhere there’s darkness.
[Both lines x2]
مقدّر چِراغوں کے ، بدلے ہوئے ہے [ x2 ]
کوئی بُجھ رہا ہے کوئی جَل رہا ہے
نَہ شَکْوَہ ہے کوئی
Destiny’s lamps have been swapped [x2]
Some are flickering out, some still burn.
There is no reproach
او ،
مُبارَک تُجھے ہو ، تیرے دِل کی دُنیا
میری زِنْدَگی کا کوئی غم نَہ کَرَن
[ both lines x2 ]
Oh,
Blessings upon the world inside your heart—
May it never grieve for sorrows of my life.
[Both lines x2]
یہ سب گَرْدِشیں ہے نصیبوں کے پیارے [ x2 ]
نَہ میری خطا ہے ، نَہ تیری خطا ہے
نَہ شَکْوَہ ہے کوئی
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.
