Language: Urdu

Lyrics: Faiz Ahmad Faiz

آئے کچھ ابر، کچھ شراب آئے

aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Let some cloudy weather come, and some wine to relish in this weather

آئے کچھ ابر، کچھ شراب آئے

aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Let some cloudy weather come, and some wine to relish in this weather

اس کے بعد آئے جو عذاب آئے
is ke ba‘d aaye jo ‘azaab aaye

After this, let come whatever punishment may come

آئے کچھ ابر، کچھ شراب آئے

aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Let some cloudy weather come, and some wine to relish in this weather

اس کے بعد آئے جو عذاب آئے
is ke ba‘d aaye jo ‘azaab aaye

After this, let come whatever punishment may come

آئے کچھ ابر، کچھ شراب آئے

aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Let some cloudy weather come, and some wine to relish in this weather

کر رہا تھا غمِ جہاں کا حساب

kar raha tha gham-i jahaan ka hisaab

I was taking stock of all that has given me pain in this world

کر رہا تھا غمِ جہاں کا حساب

kar raha tha gham-i jahaan ka hisaab

I was taking stock of all that has given me pain in this world

آج تم یاد بے حساب آئے
aaj tum yaad be-hisaab aaye
Today, I missed you immeasurably

آئے کچھ ابر، کچھ شراب آئے

aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Let some cloudy weather come, and some wine to relish in this weather

اس کے بعد آئے جو عذاب آئے
is ke ba‘d aaye jo ‘azaab aaye

After this, let come whatever punishment may come

آئے کچھ ابر، کچھ شراب آئے

aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Let some cloudy weather come, and some wine to relish in this weather

اس کے بعد آئے جو عذاب آئے
is ke ba‘d aaye jo ‘azaab aaye

After this, let come whatever punishment may come

اس طرح اپنی خامُشی گونجی

is tarh apni khaamushi goonji

In such a way did my own silence echo

اس طرح اپنی خامُشی گونجی

is tarh apni khaamushi goonji

In such a way did my own silence echo

گویا ہر سَمت سے جواب آئے

goya har samt se jawaab aaye

As if a reply was arriving from each and every direction

گویا ہر سَمت سے جواب آئے

goya har samt se jawaab aaye

As if a reply was arriving from each and every direction

آئے کچھ ابر، کچھ شراب آئے

aaye kuch abr kuchh sharaab aaye

Let some cloudy weather come, and some wine to relish in this weather

اس کے بعد آئے جو عذاب آئے
is ke ba‘d aaye jo ‘azaab aaye

After this, let come whatever punishment may come

دستِ ساقی میں آفتاب آئے

Held in the hand of the cupbearer, the sun should arrive
