ya Rab! gham-e-hijran* mein itna to kiyaa hota
jo haath jigar pe hai vo dast-e-duaa* hota
Ek ishq ka gham aafat aur us pe ye dil aafat
ya gham na diya hota ya dil na diya hota
Gairon se kaha tum ne ghairon se suna tum ne
kuch hum se kaha hota kuch ham se suna hota
umid to bandh jati taskin to ho jati
vadaa na vafaa karte vaada to kiya hota
nakaam-e-tamanna dil is soch mein rahata hai
yun hota to kya hota yun hota to kya hota

*gham-e-hijran - sorrow of separation
*dast-e-duaa - hands raised in prayer
Life is like a piano — what you get out of it,
Depends on how you play it.
