94 IF YOU CANNOT HAVE HER, JUST...

94  IF YOU CANNOT HAVE HER, JUST DO WITHOUT

O please don’t sulk; O please don’t pout
If you cannot have her, just do without

If blood and tears you cannot shed
Just keep on loving; you’re not yet dead

And if in the bar there is no wine
Stay with the barmaid, she’s so divine

And if for her you have to wait
Do have some patience; don’t be irate

And if you’re lonely in a foreign place
Feel homesick, FAIZ; it’s no disgrace

Nahen nigaah maen manzil toe justojoo hi sahi
Naheen wisaal mayassar toe aarzoo hi sahi

Na tan maen khoon faraaham, na ashk aankhoun maen
Namaaz e shouq toe waajib hay, baiwazoo hi sahi

Kisi terheh toe jamay bazm, maikaday waaloun
Naheen jo baada o saaghar toe ha o hoo hi sahi

Ger intazaar kathhan hay toe jab talak aey dil
Kisi kay waada e farda ki guftogoo hi sahi
                         
Dayaar e ghair maen mehram ager naheen koie
Toe FAIZ zikr e watan apnay roo ba roo hi sahi
