**********************************************************************
Mujko to sirf aapka farmaan chahiyey
Maujood jaan bhi hai agar jaan chahiyey !

[I just need your orders honey,
Even my life is available, if that is what you want !]

Do phool hi chada dein, woh aa kar mazaar par,
Kuch to shaeed-e-ishq ki pehchaan chahiyey !

[She should have at least offered just couple of roses on my grave,
There should be at least some signs of martyr-of-love !]

Kuch bhi raha na dil mein, teri yaad kay siva,
Is ghar kay vaastay, yahi mehmaan chahiyey !

[Except your memories, nothing stayed in my heart,
That is all I need as a guest for this home of mine !]

Hoorain mili ba-e-ishq mein mujko to kya mila,
Insaan kay liyey koi insaan chahiyey !

[If I got beauties in the path-of-romance, so what,
A human being is needed for a human being !]

Mujko bhura, rakeeb ko acha samajh liya,
Achay bhuray ki kuch unhay pehchaan chahiyey !

[She hated me, and loved the paramour,
She needs to have some sense of good and bad !]
