Whenever the clouds of pain and sadness loomed,
Whenever tears came till the eyelashes,
Whenever this lonely heart got scared,
I told my heart, Oh Heart, why do you cry?
This is what happens in this world…
This deep silence…the world has distributed it to everyone,
Some sadness is a part of everyone’s life,
Some sunshine is a part of everyone’s life,
Your eyes are wet without any reason,
Every second is a new season,
Why do you let go of such priceless moments?
Oh Heart, why do you cry?
Dard ho dil main to dawa kiGiay
Dil hi jab dard ho to kia kiGiay
Hum ko faryad karni aati hay
Aap suntay nahi to kia kiGiay
Inn buton ko khuda say kia matlub
Toba Toba, Khua khuda, kiGiay
Ranjh uThanay say bhi khushi hogi
Pehlay dil dard aashna kiGiay
Arz e shokhi, nishat e aalum hay
Hussan ko our khush’numa kiGiay
Dushmani ho chukii ba qadr e wafa
Ab haq e dosti aada kiGiay
Mout aati nahi kahain Ghalib
Kab tak afssos zeest ka kiGiay
