teri zulfo se, judai to nahi magi thi
qaid magi thi, rihai to nahi magi thi

maine kya zurm kiya, ap khafa ho baithe
maine kya zurm kiya, ap khafa ho baithe
pyar maga tha, khudai to nahi magi thi
qaid magi thi, rihai to nahi magi thi

mera haq tha teri, akho ki chhalakati may par
mera haq tha teri, akho ki chhalakati may par
chiz apani thi, parai to nahi magi thi
qaid magi thi, rihai to nahi magi thi

apane bimar pe, itana bhi sitam thik nahi
apane bimar pe, itana bhi sitam thik nahi
teri ulfat me, burai to nahi magi thi
qaid magi thi, rihai to nahi magi thi

chahane valo ko kabhi, tune sitam bhi na diya
chahane valo ko kabhi, tune sitam bhi na diya
teri mahafil se, rasai to nahi magi thi
qaid magi thi, rihai to nahi magi thi

From your tresses, separation I did not crave,
Imprisonment I sought, release I did not waive.

What crime have I committed, that you turn away?
What crime have I committed, that you turn away?
Love I asked for, divinity I did not lay claim,
Imprisonment I sought, release I did not name.

My due was the nectar, in your eyes that gleam,
My due was the nectar, in your eyes that beam,
What was mine, another's claim I did not frame,
Imprisonment I sought, release I did not claim.

Upon your ailing one, such cruelty is not right,
Upon your ailing one, such cruelty is not right,
In your love, ill-will I did not inflame,
Imprisonment I sought, release I did not name.

To your lovers, you've never met with such a plight,
To your lovers, you've never met with such a plight,
From your presence, access I did not reclaim,
Imprisonment I sought, release I did not name.
