Albaari - Saying to You

(VERSE)

Andheri raatein jaag kar
Sunehre din ke khwaab dekhe
Muflisi ke chand manzar bhi, behisaab dekhe
Kodiyon mai bikte, lakho ke kaarobaar dekhe
Aage badhne jinko hum, apna haath dete
Humarey haath kaatney waalon mein shaamil, humne unke bhi hain haath dekhe

Ya Khuda! tu bas ye jawab dede
Ke kis hisaab se toone zindagi ke pase phenke
Ke iske har badhte kadam pe maine sirf saanp dekhе
Daag detey! Mohabbat k wo lailaaj zakhm
Aaj bhi ek kharonch lagnе pe kyu iss dil ko khoon se battar daag dete
Jaanch letey! Humne Aaj talak apne rab ki ek tasveer tak na dekhi
Toh uss shaitan ki shakal ko ek jhalak mein hum kaise jaanch letey

(VERSE)

Waqt ka aisa ghazab dekha
Lamha-dar-Lamha waqt badaltey dekha
Guzar gaye kai din aur raat magar
Humne apna waqt na badaltey dekha
Pehle humaare dil mein aye khuda, Teri badi aabru thi magar
Phir humne tere dar se beaabruon ko bhi khushi khushi nikaltey dekha
Sabr-o-sukoon bhi hum tujhse maang lete magar
Maangi hui cheezon se iss dil ko sabr milta kahaan hai
Ghaafil zamaana yeh, kisi ke ghumon se kisi ko farq padta kahaan hai
Khair tujhe kyun bataoon main qissey yeh khuda, tu bhi mere qaseede sunta kahaan hai

Maana tu kareem
Maana tu hareem
Laailaaj zakhmon ko jo rafu karde, tu woh haqeem
Rukwaadey inn afsurda hawaaon ko warna
Dhool banke udd jaayenge, hum insaan rait se bhi maheen
