رنجش ہی سہی
Touch on each word to display its meaning
کِس کِس کو بتائیں گے
جدائی کا سبب ہَم
[ all stanza x2 ]
To whom, of all people, will we explain
the cause of our separation?
[all stanza x2]
تُو مُجھ سے خفا ہے
تو زمانے
کے لئے آ
You are displeased with me;
nevertheless, come,
for the sake of the world('s opinion)
رنجش ہی سہی ۔
دِل ہی دکھانے
کے لئے آ ۔
رنجش ہی سہی
Let it be sorrow.
Come, to inflict
pain on my heart.
Let it be sorrow.
آ ، پِھر سے مُجھے چھوڑ
کے جانے کے لئے ۔
آ ، رنجش ہی سہی ۔
دِل ہی دکھانے
کے لئے ۔
آ ، رنجش ہی سہی
[ all stanza x2 ]
Come, (if only)
to once again abandon me!
Come, let it be sorrow!
To inflict pain
on my very heart.
Come, Let it be sorrow.
[all stanza x2]
پَہْلے سے مراسم
نَہ صحیح پِھر بھی کَبھی تو …
[ both lines x2 ]
رسم و رہِ دُنیا ہی ،
نبھانے کے لئے ، آ
رنجش ہی سہی
دِل ہی دکھانے
کے لئے آ ۔
رنجش ہی سہی
Admittedly, our relationship (is)
not right anymore, but …
[all stanza x2]
just for the
mundane appearances, come
Let it be sorrow,
Come to inflict
pain on my heart.
Let it be sorrow.
مانا کِہ مُحَبَّت کا
چُھپانا ہے مُحَبَّت ۔
[ both lines x2 ]
چپکے سے ، کِسی روز ،
جتانے کے لئے
آ ، رنجش ہی سہی ۔
آ ، پِھر سے مُجھے چھوڑ
کے جانے کے لئے ۔
آ ، رنجش ہی سہی ۔
دِل ہی دکھانے کے لئے ۔
آ ، رنجش ہی سہی
Granted that, affection is
(implies) hiding the affection.
[both lines x2]
(But) stealthily, some day,
to make it known,
come, let it be sorrow!
Come, (if only)
to once again abandon me!
Come, let it be sorrow!
To inflict pain on my heart,
come, let it be sorrow!

ranjish hii sahii (Urdu: رنجش ہی سہی, Hindi: रंजिश ही सही) "Let there be sorrow!" is a ghazal originally written by the celebrated Urdu poet Ahmed Faraz, and its music was composed by Nisar Bazmi.
Later, Indo-Pakistani singer Mehdi Hasan
, known as "The King of Ghazal", added
a verse in his rendition "Maana ki Mohabbat ka". That verse is present in this Coke Studio rendition.
The poem, of incredible beauty, speaks about a person deeply in love, who doesn't resign himself to the end of a relationship. He asks his former lover to come to him, even for the sake of appearances, in order to retain any sort of contact.
The song in the video is skillfully rendered by Pakistani singer/songwriter Ali Sethi.
It contains arrangements to make the ghazal more suitable to modern taste, but it remains beautifully moving.
