Meri Ankhon Ko Bakhshe Hain Aansoo Songtext

von Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Meri Aankhoon Ko Bakhshe Hain Aansu,
Dil Ko Daag-e-Alam De Gai Hain.
(Presented to my eyes are floods of tears,
And wounds of sorrow within my heart)

Iss Inayat Pe Qurbaan Jaoon Unke,
Pyaar Maanga Tha Gum De Gaye Hain.
(Which bounty should I state?
I asked for love, but sorrows were gifted in return)

Daine Aaye Thay Humko Tassalli,
Woh Tassalli Humko Kya Daite.
(They claimed, they rushed to console me,
But look at such a consolation)

Tod Kar Kaaba-e-Dil Hamara,
Hasratoon Ke Zakhm De Gaye Hain.
(Shattering the Holy place within my heart,
Idols of desire were gifted to me in return)

Dil Tadapta Hai, Faryaad Karta Hai,
Aankh Darti Hai, Aansu Behte Hain.
(The heart trembles with every plead,
The eyes are scared stiff to weep)

Aisi Ulfat Se Woh Jaate Jaate Bhul Jane Ke Liye,
Mujh Ko Apni Kasam De Gaye Hain.
(Such was the love that as they left,
They made a promise to forget me in return)

Meri Aankhoon Ko Bakhshe Hain Aansu,
Dil Ko Daag-e-Alam De Gai Hain.
(Presented to my eyes are floods of tears,
And wounds of sorrow within my heart)
