(Bang-e-Dra-053) Laon Vo Tinke Kahin Se Ashiyane Ke Liye

Laon Woh Tinke Kahin Se Ashiyane Ke Liye
Bijlian Betaab Hun Jin Ko Jalane Ke Liye

I should procure such straws for my nest from somewhere
For burning which the lightning may be restless

Waye Nakami, Falak Ne Taak Kar Tora Usse
Mein Ne Jis Dali Ko Tara Ashiyane Ke Liye

Alas! O despair! The sky broke it down intently
Whichever branch I selected for my nest

Ankh Mil Jati Hai Haftad Wa Do Millat Se Teri
Aik Permana Tera Sare Zamane Ke Liye

Haftad Wa Do Millat = Islam Ke 72 Firqe

You are contending with the seventy two nations
One goblet of yours suits the whole world best

Dil Mein Koi Iss Tarah Ki Arzu Paida Karun
Lot Jaye Asman Mere Mitane Ke Liye

I should create some such longing in my heart
So the sky may turn around to annihilate me best

Jama Kar Kharman Tu Pehle Dana Dana Chun Ke Tu
Aa Hi Nikle Gi Koi Bijle Jalane Ke Liye

Collect your harvest first by picking it grain by grain
Some thunderbolt will surely come out to annihilate it

Pas Tha Nakami-e-Sayyad Ka Ae Hum-Safeer
Warna Main Aur Urh Ke Ata Aik Dane Ke Liye!

I had regard for the failure of the hunter, O friend
Otherwise, why could I come over flying for one grain?

Iss Chaman Mein Murgh-e-Dil Gaye Na Azadi Ka Geet
Aah! Ye Gulshan Nahin Aese Tarane Ke Liye

The heart should not sing freedom’s song in this garden
Ah! This garden is not suitable for such odes.
