ek labze muhabbat, adanã ye fasãnã
simate toh dil-e-aashiq, failey toh zamãnã

one word – love; when it shrinks, it can fit in a lover’s heart
if it expands it is the whole and this world just a part

yeh ishq nahee aasãn, itanã hee samajh lije
ek aag kã dariyã hai aur doob ke jãnã

this love is not easy, do understand this well
it is an ocean of fire, and only way to cross it, is to drown in it

aansu toh bahut se hain aankho me jigar lekin
bindh jãye toh motee hain rah jãye toh dãnã

there are many tears in the eyes, what will become of them?
either they’ll be lost or, jigar, they’ll become pearls and gems

- Poet – Jigar Murãdãbãdi -
