14 I Just Can't Win

14  I Just Can’t Win


This Love is causing my downfall
My esteem and honor, I’ve lost them all

Her glowing face is so very bright
It’s seared my eyes; it’s burnt my sight

And when she tells me that she’ll come
To my excitement, oh, how I succumb

But with my rival when she comes to me
Oh, how it drives me up the tree

And when she tells me she’s going to leave
Oh, how I grieve; how I huff and heave

But if she ever becomes contrite
I just can’t resist it; I give up the fight

And SHAIDA tells me, there’s a bright side
So I should take it all in my stride

Aabroo ishq maen saari sar e bazaar gaie
Kuchh na haasil hua, koshish meri baikaar gaie

Taab e rukhsaar hay kaisi teri, Allah, Allah
Jal gaie maeri nazar jab paay deedaar gaie

Baiqarari dil e baitaab ki afzoon ker di
Loet kay aanay ka jab ker kay too iqraar gaie

Lay kay jab ghair ko aaie meri pursish kay liay
Ker kay too aur dil e zaar ko beemaar gaie

Chorrh toe too nay diya hay mujhay laikin, aey jaan
Chorrh ker kis pay bata too yeh gariftaar gaie

Kaisay, kaisay mera dil laiway balaaean hay teri
Tang aa ker jo too kehti hay keh maen haar gaie

Hay shab e hijr walay ro na too itna SHAIDA
Kum andhaira hua, lagta hay shab e taar gaie
