MURAD
Khailnay
kay vaastay, ab dil kisi ka chahiyey
Umar aisee hai, ki tumko ik khilona
chahiyey !
[To play, now you need somebody's heart,
You are at that
stage of life where you need a toy !]
Mujko kahiyey, haath mein mehndi lagana hai
agar,
Khoon-e-dil doon ya, ki phir khoon-e-tamana chahiyey !
[Please tell me, if you need to put Henna on your
hands,
Shall I offer my heart's blood or shall I sacrifice all my desires
!]
Bazm mein aao kisi din, kar kay tum solahan singaar,
Ik
qayamat waqt say pehlay bhi aaana chahiyey !
[Please, someday come to the gathering with all the
makeup,
One judgement day should come even before the last one comes
!]
Tum kaho to mar bhi jaoon main, magar ik sharat hain,
Bas
kafan kay vaastay aanchal tumhara chahiyey !
[If you say, I will even die for you but I have a
condition,
That your lovely dress should be my coffin !]
Kal talak tha dil zaroori rah-e-ulfat mein 'Murad',
Aaj
kay is daur mein chandi-o-sona chahiyey !
[Till yesterday, one needed to have a heart to fall in love,
`Murad',
But these days, you would just need gold and silver !]
