rab kare ke aaj se
aaj phir na ho, na ho kabhi
dua karo ke aaj se
aaj phir na ho, na ho kabhi

nahi mila hai koi jo
dekh ke laga apna kabhi
nahi jama, nahi jacha
na kabhi mijaj ha ho kabhi
shauhrate dekhi aisi, sabka maila chehra
muskurahate ye kaisi jin pe baandha pahra
matlab ki yaari dekhi, imaa bikte dekha
padh liya ab ke humne, sabka lekha jekha

sach kahe to aaj se
aaj phir na ho, na ho kabhi
rab kare ke aaj se
aaj phir na ho, na ho kabhi
aisi siyasat dekhi, aangan dhahte dekha
waahiyat aadat dekhi, maatam bantte dekha
rasme bimari dekhi, sabne socha jara
lailaaj aadat dekhi, haakim bhi bebasa

kaisi ye kharonch hai, sab me hi dosh hai
badlega sab yaha, agar nayi soch hai
kab tak malal me jeena, marna
man ke kamre saaf kar le
shikwe haal me jeena, marna
aisi sari shame laal hai
kisne lakire khinchi, sab me hissa dekha
dil ki likhawat dekhi, dil ka kissa dekha
ruh se man ghayal, murde jite dekha
rab jaha aankhe kholi, sabko darte dekha

May God grant that from this day,
This day never comes again, never comes.
Pray that from this day,
This day never comes again, never comes.

No one found,
Whom I could call my own.
Not gathered, not settled,
Never a matching temperament, never.
I saw such fame, every face was tainted,
What kind of smiles are these, guarded?
Friendships of greed I saw, faith being sold,
Now, I have read, everyone's account.

To tell the truth, from this day,
This day never comes again, never comes.
May God grant that from this day,
This day never comes again, never comes.
I saw such politics, courtyards collapsing,
I saw vile habits, mourning being divided.
I saw customs as disease, everyone thought a little,
I saw an incurable habit, even the rulers helpless.

What kind of scratch is this, everyone flawed,
Everything will change here, if there is a new thought.
How long to live in regret, to wake up?
Clean the rooms of your heart.
To live in complaints, to wake up?
All such evenings are red.
Who drew these lines, saw shares in all,
Saw the heart's writing, saw the heart's story.
Soul-wounded heart, saw the dead living,
Where God opened the eyes, I saw everyone afraid.
