BAKHT-E-KHUFTA NE NAAT LYRICS
Bakht-E-Khufta Ne Mujhe Rauzay Pe Jaanay Na Diya
Chashm-O-Dil Seenay Kaleyje Se Laganay Na Dia
Aah! Qismat Mujhe Duniya Ke Ghamon Ne Roka
Haaye! Taqdeer Keh Taiba Mujhe Jaanay Na Dia
Itna Kamzor Kiya Zoa’afa E Quwa Ne Mujh Ko
Paanv To Paanv Mujhe Sarr Bhi Uthane Na Diya
Kabhi Beemar E Muhabbat Bhi Hue Hai Achhe
Roz Afzu(n) Hai Marz Kaam Dawa Ne Na Diya
Sharbat-E-Deedar Ne Aur Aag Lagadei Dil Mein
Tapish-E-Dil Ko Barhaya Hai Bujhanay Na Dia
Ab Kahan Jayega Naqsh Tera Mere Dil Se
Teh Mein Rakha Hai Issay Dil Ne Gumanay Na Dia
Mere A’mal Ka Badla Tou Jahannum Hee Tha
Mein Tou Jaata Mujhe Sarkar Ne Jaanay Na Dia
Nafs-E-Badkaar Ne Ne Dil Pe Ye Qiyamat Torri
Amal Naik Kia Bhi Tou Chupanay Na Dia
Aur Chamakti Sei Ghazal Koi Parho Aey Noori
Rung Apna Abhi Jamnay Sho’ra Ne Na Dia
Fate deprived me of going to the garden (of paradise) when I was lost
Neither did it allow my eyes and heart to connect
Alas, the troubles of the world prevented me from destiny
Oh, Taiba, fate did not let me go there
The weakness of my strength has made me so weak
I couldn’t even lift my head up from my feet
Even being sick with love has been good
But the daily dosage of medicine has not helped my condition
The elixir of seeing you set my heart on fire
The heat in my heart has increased but it hasn’t gone out
Where will your image go from my heart now?
The heart has kept it in itself and hasn’t shown it to anyone
The punishment for my deeds was only hell
But the master didn’t allow me to go there
My evil ego destroyed the judgment of my heart
Even when I did good deeds, it didn’t let me hide them
And read a glowing poem, oh Noori
The crowd has not yet given my color a chance to set.
