*****************************************************************
Kuch aur to khuda say nahin chahtay hain hum,
Tum say juda na ho yeh dua maangtay hain hum !

[I don't want anything else from God,
I always pray to Him that we should not ever get separated !]

Is mein bala jahan say darnay ki baat kya,
Hum har jagah kahengay tumhay chahtay hain hum !

[What is there to be afraid of the whole world,
I would always and everywhere say "I love you" !]

Lagta hai yeh ki jheel ki gharayee kuch nahin,
Unki haseen aankh mein jab jaanktay hain hum !

[It seems as if the depth of the lake is nothing,
Whenever I look deep into her eyes !]

Maangay agar woh jaan bhi haazir hai doston,
Unki koi bhi baat kahan taaltay hain hum !

[If she demands, I can even sacrifice my life for her,
When do I refuse anything she says and/or demands !]

Vaada hai unka raat mein aanay ka ae `Murad'
Har raat is khayaal say ab jaagtay hain hum !

[She has promised that she will come during the night 'Murad',
Thinking about this promise, I am up and awake every night !]

Kuch aur to khuda say nahin chahtay hain hum,
Tum say juda na ho yeh dua maangtay hain hum !
