Poet: Bahadur Shah Zafar
Lagta nahii hai dil mera with English Translation
Lagtaa nahii hai dil meraa ujRe dayaar mei
What pleasure can the heart know in this derelict city
Kiss kii banii hai aalame-naapaaidaar mein
Who has found fulfillment in this mortal world
Umr-e-daraaz maang ke laaye the chaar din
Having asked for long life, I brought back four days
Do aarzuu mein kat gaye do intezaar mein
Two passed away in yearning and two in waiting
Kah do in hasraton se kahiin aur jaa baein
Tell these desires to go and settle down elsewhere
Itnii jagah kahaan hai dil-e-daaghdaar mein
There is little room in this so tainted heart
Kitnaa hai badnaseeb zafar dafan ke liye
How ill fated is that for Zafar even for his burial
Do gaz zamiin bhii naa milii kue-yaar mein
Was not granted two yards of earth (for his grave) in the land of the beloved
