Gunaah na kiya tou kya, ilzaam hi bahut hain

doston ki mahfil mein, badnam hum bahut hain

 Blame is enough even if there is no wrongdoing

In the company of friends you tarnished my name

Hairaan hun mein, yun bhi, sab jaantey hein log

shakhsiyat ko meri pahachantey bahut hain?

 I am amazed that people claim to be familiar

Do they really recognize my personality?

Khamosh hein sabhi ke, shayad unhe ye dar hai

pareshaniyon me sahme, raaz tou bahut hain

 Everybody is quiet because they possibly fear

They worry because they have a lot to hide

Wo khamkhwah baton se kar rahey hein aatish

Humey khak banaane ko bujhte diye bahut hain

They are trying to start a blaze with irrelevant talks

Dying sparks are enough to turn me into ashes

Koi chahat hii nahin hamdard ke kandhon kii

ashkon ko sirhanoN ke jazbaat hii bahut hain

 I don’t need the beloved’s shoulders to cry

Thoughtfulness of pillows is enough for my tears
