Shakeel Badayuni
ai mohabbat tire anjam pe rona aaya
jaane kyuun aaj tire naam pe rona aaya
Love your sad conclusion makes me weep
Wonder why your mention makes me weep
yuun to har shaam umidon men guzar jaati hai
aaj kuchh baat hai jo shaam pe rona aaya
Every evening was, by hope, sustained
this evening’s desperation makes me weep
kabhi taqdir ka matam kabhi duniya ka gila
manzil-e-ishq men har gaam pe rona aaya
Lamenting fate, complaining of this life
In course of love each station makes me weep
mujh pe hi khatm hua silsila-e-nauhagari
is qadar gardish-e-ayyam pe rona aaya
the cycle of all mourning stops at me
Life’s inconstant rotation makes me weep
jab hua zikr zamane men mohabbat ka ‘shakil’
mujh ko apne dil-e-nakam pe rona aaya
Whenever talk of happiness I hear
My failure and frustration makes me weep
