gar tujh mein hai wafa to jafakar kaun hai

Mohammad Rafi Sauda

gar tujh mein hai wafa to jafakar kaun hai

Mohammad Rafi Sauda

gar tujh meñ hai vafā to jafākār kaun hai

dildār huā to dil-āzār kaun hai

if you harbour loyalty / then who is treacherous

if you are benevolent / then who is barbarous

nālāñ huuñ muddatoñ se tire saa.e ke tale

pūchhā na ye kabhū pas-e-dīvār kaun hai

for ages I'm lamenting here / underneath your shade

to ask who is behind the wall? / you never essayed

har shab sharāb-ḳhvār har ik din siyāh hai

āshufta zulf o laTpaTī dastār kaun hai

every night's immersed in wine / and dark is every day

who is that with hair awry, headwrap in disarray?

har aan dekhtā huuñ maiñ apne sanam ko shaiḳh

tere ḳhudā tālib-e-dīdār kaun hai

preacher, every moment my / beloved I have seen

for a vision of your God, do tell me who is keen?

'saudā' ko jurm-e-ishq se karte haiñ aaj qatl

pahchāntā hai ye gunahgār kaun hai

for his crime of passion / 'saudā's' being slain today

do you recognise who is / this sinner, by the way?

gar tujh mein hai wafa to jafakar kaun hai

dildar tu hua to dil-azar kaun hai

if you harbour loyalty / then who is treacherous

if you are benevolent / then who is barbarous

nalan hun muddaton se tere sae ke tale

puchha na ye kabhu pas-e-diwar kaun hai

for ages I'm lamenting here / underneath your shade

to ask who is behind the wall? / you never essayed

har shab sharab-KHwar har ek din siyah hai

aashufta zulf o laTpaTi dastar kaun hai

every night's immersed in wine / and dark is every day

who is that with hair awry, headwrap in disarray?

har aan dekhta hun main apne sanam ko shaiKH

tere KHuda ka talib-e-didar kaun hai

preacher, every moment my / beloved I have seen

for a vision of your God, do tell me who is keen?

'sauda' ko jurm-e-ishq se karte hain aaj qatl

pahchanta hai tu ye gunahgar kaun hai

for his crime of passion / 'saudā's' being slain today

do you recognise who is / this sinner, by the way?
