Tenhai-Loneliness

Tere aghosh mein rehkar hoon tanha,

Tere nazron mein doob ker hoon tenha,

Tere zulfoo ke sayon mein hoon tenha,

Tere alfaze bayan sankar hoon tenha.

Ehbabe Gerami ki Sohbat mein hoon tenha,

Dost aur khair khwa ki jamaat mein hoon tenha,

Raqs, Saaz, aab e talkh ki mehfil mein hoon tenha,

Fatiha padhne walon ki majalis mein hoon tenha.

Kya koi aib hai mujhmein jis wajah se hoon tenha?

Kya halat ke hadson ne ker diya Tenha?

Hai koi aisa elaj Jis se na hoon tenha?

Hai koi aisi dua jise pdhker na hoon tenha?

Tanhai hai nahin beemari Elham,

Hai sukoon aur chain is mein her dum,

Tum tho aaye thhe jehan mein tenha,

Jaoge Chhod ker is duniya se tenha.

Translation 

Loneliness

In your embrace, I remain alone,

Drowned in your gaze, I remain alone.

Beneath the shadow of your tresses, I remain alone,

Listening to the grace of your words, I remain alone.

In the company of cherished friends, I remain alone,

Amidst well-wishers and companions, I remain alone.

In gatherings of dance, song, and bitter wine, I remain alone,

Even among those gathered to offer prayers, I remain alone.

Is there some flaw within me that leaves me so alone?

Or have the misfortunes of life reduced me to be alone?

Is there a remedy to ensure I am no longer alone?

Is there a prayer I might recite to never be alone?

Loneliness is no affliction, Elham,

In it lies tranquility and peace at every turn.

Into this world, you arrived alone

And leaving this realm, you shall depart alone.
