kuchh bala aur kuchh sitam hi sahi
ishq men furqat-e-sanam hi sahi
So what if there is a little trouble and little cruelty
So what if in love, there is separation from the beloved
jis ko chahen use khushi de den
mere hisse men un ke gham hi sahi
He can bestow happiness on whoever he wants
So what if he has apportioned sorrows for me
kitni viran hai sadaqat bhi
but-kada gar nahin haram hi sahi
How desolate is truthfulness too
For the gallows today there is only me
meri khuddari-e-vafa dekho
sar jhukane se sar qalam hi sahi
I must bow my head in worship, once here
So what if it isn’t a temple but the Kaaba
zindagi aaj tera lutf o karam
kam agar hai to aaj kam hi sahi
Look at my self-respect even in love
So what if I have my head axed for not bowing
jaise mumkin ho baat rakh lena
‘indira’ ka zara bharam hi sahi
the savour and mercy of life is so
So what if it is so less, so it is
