40 I Moaned, And Groaned, And ........

40  I Moaned, And Groaned, And Sighed, And Cried


I moaned, and groaned, and sighed, and cried
And without you, darling, I almost died

The twists and turns of your every lock
I sat and counted them around the clock

But the more I bore my sorrow and pain
The more you showed me your disdain

All night I was walking to and fro
While you were sleeping with my horrible foe

But my heart is used to troubles and woes
And that it's your captive, it also knows

And while the young are foolish and bold
My heart is proud of being silly and old

And though a lover you can easily discard
For your SHAIDA to take it, is very, very hard

Kuchh rahi aah o fughaan, kuchh naala o zaari rahi
Raat bhar dil ko sataati yaad e dildaari rahi

Halqa dar halqa haen kitnay zulf e paichapaich maen
Behs ik yeh halqa e ushshaaq maen jaari rahi

Baarbardaari e gham jitni bhee hum kertay rahay
Tujh ko utni hi ziyaada hum say baizaari rahi

Pehlo e dushman maen too soti rahi jo raat bhar
Taeray qurbaan, poochh mat hum ko jo baidaari rahi

Bach kay reh sakta naheen tha dil balaaoun say kabhee
Kya hua gaisoo ki ger is ko gariftaari rahi

Sab hi rehtay haen subuksar naujawaani maen mager
Haen wo khurram jin ko peeri maen subuksaari rahi

Aashiqi say bach kay rehna tujh ko aasaan hay walay
Poochh mat aey jaan SHAIDA ko jo dushwaari rahi
