rakho tum sabr itna

muhabbat behuda na bane

Khuda mehboob ban jaye

mehboob khuda na bane

رکھو تم صبر اتنا محبّت بیہودہ نہ بنے

خدا محبوب بن جائے محبوب خدا نہ بنے

In English, we say,

It's either the whole of you, or nothing at all.

but in Urdu, we say,

usko lagta hai mohabbat ka tarafdaar huN maiN

uske lagne se mohabbat toh nahiN badlegi

In English, we say,

Her eyes speak volumes to me!

but in Urdu, we say,

uski aaNkheN dekh kar sab kuchh dikhaii deta hai

mujhko behadh KHamoshi meN sab sunai deta h

In English, we say,

What is Love afterall?

but in Urdu, we say,

yahi kehta hai harr koii "meri bas aik hi Khwahish hai"

magar ye baat bhi sach hai mohabbat aazmaaish hai

In English, we say,

This feeling is unreal. I don't know what to call it.

but in Urdu, we say,

voh aksar mujhse kehti hai

mujhe tum yaad aate ho

maiN jab KHamosh hoti huuN

ya jab bhi hosh khoti huuN

mera andar kisi kone meN kuchh toh aur hota hai

ajab sa shor hota hai

teri raahoN meN aaNkheN doob jaati haiN meri phir bhi...ye dil be-KHauf rota hai

In English, we say,

Hold my hand, and I'll keep you safe.

but in Urdu, we say,

haath pakaD lo pagal laDki, aage rasta mushkil hai

dunia me jo dozaKH hai na usse bachna mushkil h

In English, we say,

Your eyes are a reflection of my life.

but in Urdu, we say,

ik din tumhari aaNkh meN dekha tha gaur se

uss din ke baad aaina dekha nahiN gaya

In English, we say,

I can't be yours. I don't belong to me even.

but in Urdu, we say,

vaise toh aik shaKHs bhi mera nahiN yahaN

maiN jiska tha voh shaKHs bhi mera nahiN hua

In English, we say,

You failed to see the truth.

but in Urdu, we say,

jisne pat'thar tujhe bhi maare the

loug mere nahiN tumhare the

In English, we say,

What do we mean by boundaries?

but in Urdu, we say,

uski gali se ho ke guzarta tha harr dafeh

maiN apne aap se kabhi bahar nahiN hua

In English, we say,

I even loved your absence more than others' presence

but in Urdu, we say,

tum muqaddar ki baat karte the

faisle phir bhi sab tumhare the

hamne voh naam bhi liay aaKHir

jo na tumko kabhi pukaare the

In English, we say,

This moment, right here, is only happening once!

but in Urdu, we say,

aankhoN se raabtoN ka nazaara nahiN gaya

hamko phir uss tarah se pukaara nahiN gaya

In English, we say,

I have nothing to say to you. Please go.

but in Urdu, we say,

jinse maiñ baat tak nahin karta

ik mulaaqaat tak nahiñ karta

raabtoñ meñ pahel toh karta huñ

haañ...voh... jazbaat tak nahin karta

In English, we say,

It was love, but it wasn't true love.

but in Urdu, we say,

Doori hi toh thi

Judaai toh nahiin thi

Adhuuri hi toh thi

Par tanhaaii toh nahiin thi

Kab talak yaqiin dilaate

Ham tumhen apne paaki ka

Faqat safaii hi toh thi

Bewafaii toh nahiin thi

In English, we say,

But you did not pray for me.

but in Urdu, we say,

‌Usay meri fikr hi toh thi

Dua meñ zikr toh nahiin tha

Woh sajde meñ dikh toh raha tha

Dil mein khuda toh nahiin thi

Kaise dil se rihaa karte

Jab ki wo ruuh talak basaa tha

Main aib-e-daar hi toh thi

Ehsan faraamosh toh nahiin thi

In English, we say,

We were just strangers.

but in Urdu, we say,

anjaan hi toh the

be'jaan toh nahiin the

nadaan hi toh the

meherbaan toh nahiin the

aur kitna zulm sehte

besaakhta ishq ke naam par

tamaam khwahisheñ hi toh thi

intekaam toh nahiin the
