Geet Ban Gaye Shikva
My song is now a complaint

Unki aankhon me vo ishaarey na rahey

Paas hokar bhi woh hamarey na rahey

His eyes don’t have the same gist

he is still near but he is not mine

 Beech manjhdhar la ke vo tou chale

Koi ummeed aur  kinaarey na rahey

 He brought and left me in the midstream

without any hope or shore to reach

 Vo hi dargah wahi meri jannat hain

geet ban gaye shikva, dua na rahey

He is my temple he is my heaven

songs have turned to complaints instead of prayers

 Jo darkano me jhilmil they khushi ban kar

Waqt ki gardishon me aaj sitaarey na rahey

 Once  my life  twinkled with happiness

with the passage of time  I can't find my star anymore

 Chah seene mein lub pe aah liye

Kya kahen hum bahaney na rahey

A yearning in my  heart and a sigh on my lips

there are no excuses left to say anything
