Bataaon tumhe kahaani udaas logon ki ...

Bataaon tumhe kahaani udaas logon ki,
Kabhi ghaur karna yeh hanstey bohat hain,

Shall I speak the story of depressed people,
Look with attention, they laugh a lot.

Sau baar chaman mehka, sau baar bahaar ayi ...

Sau baar chaman mehka, sau baar bahaar ayi,
Duniyaa ki wohi ronaq, dil ki wohi tanhayi,

A hundred times the dawn rises, a hundred times spring arrives,
The world's same hustle and bustle, the heart's same solitude,

Teri ik nazar mujhe eid si ...

Teri ik nazar mujhe eid si,
Teri berukhi gham-e-karbala,

Your look equals the Eid,
Your anger - the pain of Karbala,

Ye kahaan ki dosti hai kai banai hain dost naaseh ...

Ye kahaan ki dosti hai kai banai hain dost naaseh,
Koi charasaaz hota, koi gham gusaar hota,

What friendship is this that friends have become critics,
Alas that there is no one to share pain, no one for support,

- Mirza Ghalib
