hairat hai tum ko dekh ke masjid meñ ai 'ḳhumār'
kyā baat ho ga.ī jo ḳhudā yaad aa gayā
to see you in the mosque KHumaar, is rather strange and odd
what calamity occurred that now you think of God?
hairat hai tum ko dekh ke masjid mein ai 'KHumar'
kya baat ho gai jo KHuda yaad aa gaya
to see you in the mosque KHumaar, is rather strange and odd
what calamity occurred that now you think of God?

ab in hudūd meñ laayā hai intizār mujhe
vo aa bhī jaa.eñ to aa.e na e'tibār mujhe
ab in hudud mein laya hai intizar mujhe
wo aa bhi jaen to aae na e'tibar mujhe
ġham hai na ab ḳhushī hai na ummīd hai na yaas
sab se najāt paa.e zamāne guzar ga.e
gham hai na ab KHushi hai na ummid hai na yas
sab se najat pae zamane guzar gae
ham pe guzrā hai vo bhī vaqt 'ḳhumār'
jab shanāsā bhī ajnabī se mile
hum pe guzra hai wo bhi waqt 'KHumar'
jab shanasa bhi ajnabi se mile
tujh ko barbād to honā thā bahar-hāl 'ḳhumār'
naaz kar naaz ki us ne tujhe barbād kiyā
tujh ko barbaad to hona tha bahar-haal 'KHumar'
naz kar naz ki us ne tujhe barbaad kiya
ilāhī mire dost hoñ ḳhairiyat se
ye kyuuñ ghar meñ patthar nahīñ aa rahe haiñ
ilahi mere dost hon KHairiyat se
ye kyun ghar mein patthar nahin aa rahe hain

ye vafā kī saḳht rāheñ ye tumhāre paañv nāzuk

your feet are tender, delicate, harsh are the paths of constancy
on me your vengeance do not wreak, by thus giving me company
