76 O NO ONE CARES ABOUT MY WOES

76  O NO ONE CARES ABOUT MY WOES

O no one cares about my woes
And what’s my trouble, I cannot disclose

She makes a promise; she makes a vow
But it get broken somewhere, somehow

And being a moth I look for the flame
But love to her is only a game

And being a toper I want some ale
But nowhere I find that it’s on sale

And her whenever I want to see
To meet with me she wouldn’t agree

With her I cannot possibly connect
For even my praise has no effect

So no matter what I might say or do
To her, O FAIZ, I cannot get through

Sharh e baidardi e haalaat na honay paaie
Ab kay bhee dil ki madaraat na honay paaie

Phir wohi waada jo iqraar na bannay paaya
Phir wohi baat jo asbaat na honay paaie

Phir wo perwaanay jinhaen azn e shahaadat na mila
Phir wo shumaen keh jinhaen raat na honay paaie

Phir wohi jaanbalabi lazzat e mai say pehlay
Phir wo mehfil jo kharaabaat na honay paaie

Phir dam e deed rahay chashm o nazar deedtalab
Phir shab e wasl mulaaqaat na hnay paaie

Phir wahaan baab e asar jaaniay kab band hua
Phir yahaan khatm munaajaat na honay paaie

FAIZ, sar per jo her ik roaz qayaamat guzri
Aek bhee roaz makaafaat na honay paaie
