na ro taqdir ko ae dil
na kar shikwa jamane se
na kar shikwa jamane se
de gam ki aag bhar ke git
tere aansu bahane se
tere aansu bahane se

idhar paida hui ummid
udhar jaale fazaa aayi
karam apna dikhane ko
mere sar har bala aai
mohabbat ho gai bigadi
hui mere aashiyaane se
na ro taqdir ko ae dil
na kar shikwa jamane se

koi maane na maane
maanta hain isko dil mera
musibat ke ghataao ne
the mere chaand ko ghera
milega kya tujhe ae asmaa
mujhko satane se
na ro taqdir ko ae dil
na kar shikwa jamane se

mohabbat tujhko deti hain
vafa ke vaaste aaja
yahi hain vaqt aane ka
khuda ke vaaste aaja
hajaaro aaften aati hain
ek tere na hone se
na ro taqdir ko ae dil
na kar shikwa jamane se
na kar shikwa jamane se
de gam ki aag bhar ke git
tere aansu bahane se
tere aansu bahane se

Weep not, O heart, at fate's decree,
Nor lodge complaint against the world's decree.
Fill songs with flames of sorrow's fire,
From tears that flow, a soul's desire.

Where hope arose, a darkness fell,
To show compassion, a trial came.
Love's path astray, a life's dismay,
Each sorrow came, to claim.
Weep not, O heart, at fate's decree,
Nor lodge complaint against the world's decree.

Though others doubt, my heart believes,
By clouds of strife, my moon was bound.
O heavens, what gain in torment lies?
Weep not, O heart, at fate's decree,
Nor lodge complaint against the world's decree.

For love it offers, as its own,
Come, in the name of faith and so,
This is the time, the hour to rise,
Come, in the name of God, you are known.
A thousand woes from absence bloom,
Weep not, O heart, at fate's decree,
Nor lodge complaint against the world's decree.
Fill songs with flames of sorrow's fire,
From tears that flow, a soul's desire.
