Mai To Piya Se

Dhoondo Ge Agar Mulkon Mulkon
Milne Ke Nahin Nayaab Hain Hum
Tabeer Hai Jiski Hasrat-0-Gham 
Aye Humnafaso Woh Khwaab Hain Hum

Aye Dard Bata Kuch Tu Hi Pata
Ab Tak Yeh Mu’ammya Hal Na Hua
Hum Mein Hain Dil-E-Betaab Nihan
Yah Aap Dil-E-Betaab Hain Hum

Main Hairat-O-Hasrat Ka Maara
Khamosh Khada Hoon Sahil Par
Dariya-E-Mohabbat Kehta Hai
“Aa Kuch Bhi Nahin Payaab Hain Hum”

Lakhon Hi Musafir Chalte Hain
Manzil pohunchte Hain Do Ik
Aye Ahl-E-Zamana Qadr Karo
Nayaab Na Hon Kamyaab Hain Hum

Murghan-E-Qafas Ko Phoolon Ne 
Aye Shaad Ye Kahla Bheja Hai
Aa Jao Jo Tum Ko Aana Ho 
Aise Mein Abhi Shadaab Hain Hum
The poetry requires AARKAYNE standard translation, but the English lyrics below may suffice for now.
Even if you search from nation to nation
You won’t find me, for I’m an extinct rarity.
O friend! I am that dream which can only be 
Interpreted through your desires and grief.

O grief! Now you give me some clue
For this puzzle isn’t solved yet,
Whether a restless heart is concealed within me
Or I myself is a restless heart

I, in a state of awe and regret
Stand quietly at the shore,
The river of love expresses
"come, I'm only a shallow” [rivulet]

Thousand of travellers embark on journey
But only a few of them reach the destination.
O my contemporaries! Revere me for I'm,
If not extinct, a rare [kind of] being.

O Shaad! The flowers have dispatched 
This message to the captive birds,
"Come if you so desire 
For, at the moment, we're very fresh.
