jag mein aa kar idhar udhar dekha

Khwaja Meer Dard

jag mein aa kar idhar udhar dekha

Khwaja Meer Dard

jag meñ aa kar idhar udhar dekhā

aayā nazar jidhar dekhā

I came into this world and looked around

You, manifest, in every place, I found

jaan se ho ga.e badan ḳhālī

jis taraf ne aañkh bhar dekhā

of life and spirit, bodies were devoid

a gaze intense, wherever you deployed

naala fariyād aah aur zaarī

aap se ho sakā so kar dekhā

wailing, pleading, lamenting and sighing

the things that I could do / I kept on trying

un laboñ ne na masīhā.ī

ham ne sau sau tarah se mar dekhā

the role of Jesus, those lips did not play

I tried, in hundred ways, myself to slay

zor āshiq-mizāj hai koī

'dard' ko qissa muḳhtasar dekhā

he's someone who's the deeply ardent sort

the tale of 'dard' is just this simple, short

jag mein aa kar idhar udhar dekha

tu hi aaya nazar jidhar dekha

I came into this world and looked around

You, manifest, in every place, I found

jaan se ho gae badan KHali

jis taraf tu ne aankh bhar dekha

of life and spirit, bodies were devoid

a gaze intense, wherever you deployed

nala fariyaad aah aur zari

aap se ho saka so kar dekha

wailing, pleading, lamenting and sighing

the things that I could do / I kept on trying

un labon ne na ki masihai

hum ne sau sau tarah se mar dekha

the role of Jesus, those lips did not play

I tried, in hundred ways, myself to slay

zor aashiq-mizaj hai koi

'dard' ko qissa muKHtasar dekha

he's someone who's the deeply ardent sort

the tale of 'dard' is just this simple, short
