Kya pareshaniyan hai yeh intezaar,
Na Khabar, na paigham, na iblagh
What distress this waiting is?
No news, no message, no communication
Aate jaate hain duniya waalon magar,
sakht sozish rehta hai seene mein, yeh intezaar
People come and go in the world,
But a sharp pain remains in my chest, this waiting
Ache aqwaal karte hai bekhauf se,
Lekhin ghari tik tik karta hai, yeh intezaar
They speak words of comfort fearlessly,
But time ticks away slowly, this waiting
Mahine beet gaye mausam guzarte, kya barqarar?
Aatish-e-rut mahol dil mein, yeh intezaar
Months have passed, seasons have changed, what remains?
The fire of longing in my heart, this waiting
Ab yeh jazb aur zakham-e-rooh kya faida?
Shukriya kehta Nacheez, yeh intezaar
Now (after all of this), is there any benefit to this intense passion and spiritual wound?
Nacheez says thank you, in this waiting
