lagta nahi hai dil mera ujde dayar me
kis ki bani hai aalam-e-na-payedar me

kah do in hasrato se kahi aur ja base
itni jagah kahan hai dil-e-dagdaar me
itni jagah kahan hai dil-e-dagdaar me

umr-e-daraz mang ke laye the char din
do aarzu me kat gaye, do intzaar me
do aarzu me kat gaye, do intzaar me

kitna hai badnasib zafar dafan ke liye
kitna hai badnasib zafar dafan ke liye
do gaz zamin bhi na mili ku-e-yaar me
do gaz zamin bhi na mili ku-e-yaar me
lagta nahi hai dil mera ujde dayar me

My soul finds no solace in this desolate domain,
Whose fleeting structure endures in a world of pain?

Tell these desires, they must seek another place,
For in this wounded heart, there is no space.

We came seeking a long life, yet possessed but four days,
Two vanished in longing, two in waiting's maze.
Two in waiting's maze.

How unfortunate is Zafar, for burial's ease,
How unfortunate is Zafar, for burial's ease,
Even two yards of earth found not, near the beloved's trees.
Even two yards of earth found not, near the beloved's trees.
My soul finds no solace in this desolate domain.
