ظالِمہ
Touch on each word to display its meaning
جو تیری خَاطِر تڑپے پَہْلے سے ہی
کیا اُسے تڑپانا
او ظالِمہ ، او ظالِمہ
جو تیرے عِشْق میں بہکا پَہْلے سے ہی
کیا اُسے بہکانا
او ظالِمہ ، او ظالِمہ
Why tormenting
someone who is already tormented for your sake?
Oh, cruel one! Oh, cruel one!
Why alluring someone
truly allured in your love from the start?
Oh, cruel one! Oh, cruel one!
آنکھیں مرحبا ، باتیں مرحبا
مَیں سَو مرتبہ دِیوانہ ہوا
مَیرا نَہ رہا جَب سے دِل مَیرا
تیرے حُسن کا نِشانہ ہوا
Your eyes, welcome! Your words, welcome!
I went crazy/became a lover a hundred times over.
My heart doesn't stay mine since
it became a target of your beauty
جِس کی ہر دھڑکن تُو ہو
اَیسے ، دِل کو کیا دھڑکانا ؟
او ظالِمہ ، او ظالِمہ
Why make in such a way palpitate
the heart whose every beat is already you?
Oh, cruel one! Oh, cruel one!
سانسوں میں تیری نزدیکیوں کا
عطر تُو گهول دے ، گهول دے
مَیں ہی کیوں عِشْق ظاہِر کروں ؟
تُو بھی کبھی بول دے ، بول دے
لے کے جان ہی جائے گا مَیری
قاتِل ہر تیرا بہانہ ہوا
Infuse the essence of your closeness
in my breath(s), infuse it!
Why should only I make my love evident?
You too say it sometime, say it!
Having taken away my life
each of your excuses will have become deadly
تجھ سے ہی شُروع
تجھ پہ ہی خَتْم
مَیرے پیار کا فسانہ ہوا
تُو شمع ہے تو یاد رکھنا
مَیں بھی ہوُں پروانہ
او ظالِمہ ، او ظالِمہ
The story of my love has gotten
started only by you
finished only on you
If you’re a flame then remember,
that I am also a moth/dedicated lover
Oh, cruel one! Oh, cruel one!
دِیدار تیرا ملنے کے بَعْد ہی
چُھوٹے مَیری انگڑائی
تُو ہی بتا دے کیوں ظالِمہ مَیں کہلائی
Only after obtaining a glimpse of you
you shall dismiss my tiredness,
You just explain to me, why I was called cruel
