Interesting Fact

Film: Do Raha (1952)

mohabbat tark maiñ ne garebāñ liyā maiñ ne

zamāne ab to ḳhush ho zahr ye bhī liyā maiñ ne

love I have renounced and sewn the collar that was ripped

O world now you be happy for this poison I have sipped

abhī zinda huuñ lekin sochtā rahtā huuñ ḳhalvat meñ

ki ab tak kis tamannā ke sahāre liyā maiñ ne

though I am alive, I often think, when there is no throng

based on what desire, tell me, have I lived this long

unheñ apnā nahīñ saktā magar itnā bhī kyā kam hai

ki kuchh muddat hasīñ ḳhvāboñ meñ kho kar liyā maiñ ne

though I cannot possess her, it's of major consequence

that for a while, her in my dreams, I did experience

bas ab to dāman-e-dil chhoḌ do bekār ummīdo

bahut dukh sah liye maiñ ne bahut din liyā maiñ ne

the vestment of my heart O helpless hopes now leave alone

I've lived far too long and sorrows ample have I borne

mohabbat tark ki main ne gareban si liya main ne

zamane ab to KHush ho zahr ye bhi pi liya main ne

love I have renounced and sewn the collar that was ripped

O world now you be happy for this poison I have sipped

abhi zinda hun lekin sochta rahta hun KHalwat mein

ki ab tak kis tamanna ke sahaare ji liya main ne

though I am alive, I often think, when there is no throng

based on what desire, tell me, have I lived this long

unhen apna nahin sakta magar itna bhi kya kam hai

ki kuchh muddat hasin KHwabon mein kho kar ji liya main ne

though I cannot possess her, it's of major consequence

that for a while, her in my dreams, I did experience

bas ab to daman-e-dil chhoD do bekar ummido

bahut dukh sah liye main ne bahut din ji liya main ne

the vestment of my heart O helpless hopes now leave alone

I've lived far too long and sorrows ample have I borne
