A mere click of a button and you’re jumping for joy
A long way we have travelled from pure chaste intentions but how outdated we still are
Faded memories are what we once called the best of days
Now the faster the earth orbits, the feeble our minds are now becoming
What do we do?

O Jaanam Tere kyā bāteṇ, har Galī maujūd haiṇ
Aur har dil ke deewāren kaamp rahe haiṇ jazbā se
Oh beloved, your stories are present in every street
And the walls of every heart are trembling with passion
Jab meiṇ koshish kartā hūṇ apnā dil ko sambhālnē
Ik awāz ātē hai kehte yehī asliyat hai
When I try to control my heart
A voice comes and says, 'This is the reality'
Kis roo lok ke dikhao, hairān dekhte haiṇ mujhe
Dūr chashm samajhe haiṇ ṣūfī, pās sar-gardān-e-ishq hai
Which face should I show people, they look at me in amazement
From afar, they think I'm a mystic, but up close, I'm just a captive of love
Yaad E To Jaanan E Jaan, har sanson e saans aap hai
Chand baatein karna aapke, yeh umar qaid milta hai
O beloved of my soul, in every breath you reside
Just a few words with you, and a lifetime's bond is tied
Apne is kām kyūṇ kiyā, sazā-e-zulm tabāhī kī
Ab nacheez aur har āshiq, bā delash mi-andishad
What did you do this for, a punishment of cruelty and destruction?
Now this lowly one (me) and every lover is a prisoner of love

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
