DHOKHA
BETRAYAL

Kabhi akeili thi mein

    aur mera dil

Tum aaye meri zindagi

 mein ban kar mere dil

      ki dharkann

 

Sunni sunni thi meri zindagi

Tere aane se meri zindagi huyi 

             roshann

 

Kabh pyar hua tumse hum

     jaan nehin paaye

 Magar tere hawaale kiya

 humne humara jeewan 

 

Maloom na tha ke tu hamein

dhokha dega aur ujhar dega

humare baase basaaye huwe

            gulshann

 

Toot gayi mein bhikar gayi mein

   aur khak hogaya mere dil

         ka chamann

 

Jisse chaha humne

jiss ki pooja ki humne

jisse mohabbat ki

humne wahi nikla

mere dil ka dushmann

 

Kal tak chaand mein roshani

thi aur sitaron mein chamak thi

Magar aaj khamosh hai yeh dharti

    aur khaali hai woh gagann

 

Waadein kiye thei tumne

     mujhse hazaar

Magar eik hi pal mein tor

diya tumne apna wachann

  

Dil ke tukre hazaar hogaye

magar nahin bana sakei hum

    tumhei apna sajan

 

Kya mila tumhe mujhe dhokha

de kar wapas laut aao taki teri

khushboo se mehka jaaye phir

     se mera yeh badann

 

Aaj meri zindagi mein sirf andhera

hai laut aao tum aye bewafaa

taki roshan ho jaaye phir se

     mere dil ki aangann

 

Kabh tak intezar karoon mein

        tere aane ka

Abh to aajaao aur tham lo phir 

    se mera yeh daamann

 

Jooth hai mohabbat

fareb hai yeh pyar

Aur kuch nahin hai

siwaye dil ki uljhann

 

Kabhi akeili thi mein 

    aur mera dil  

Magar kaash tum na

aaye hote meri zindagi

mein aur na ban jaate 

mere dil ki dharkann

Once me and my heart

       were alone

You came into  my life

and became my heart

         beat

 

My life was quiet, but by your

coming my life became

            bright

 

When I fell in love with you

    I do not  know

  But I gave you my life

 

I did not know that you would

betray me and that you would

   ruin my mind's garden

 

I was broken I  was shattered

and my heart's garden was reduced

        to ruins

 

Who I wanted whoI worshipped

who I loved that person became

         my heart's enemy  

 

Until yesterday there was

      light in the moon

and sparkles in the stars

But today the earth is quiet

   and the sky is empty

 

You made thousands of

     promises to me

But in one minute you broke

        your promise

 

My heart broke into thousands

pieces but I could not make

         you my lover

 

What did you gain by betraying

me come back so that

your fragrance can mingle

              with mine.

 

Today in my life there is only 

darkness come back oh betrayer

so that again the house of my heart

               lightens

 

For how long shall I wait for

        you to come

Come now and again take

         care of me

 

Love is a lie love is deceiving

It's nothing else other than a

        heart's worry 

 

Once me and my heart

      were alone

But I wish you had never come

into my life and become my

          heart beat
