बस एक छोटी सी शिक़ायत...

हूँ शुक्रगुज़ार उसका
उसकी रहमत
उसकी कुदरत

शिक़ायत नहीं है इससे
मेरी क़िस्मत

न ही गिला तुमसे
तुम्हारी फ़ितरत

अफ़सोस ये ही बस
इतना सा

की तन्हा छोड़ गए होते
खुदाहाफिज़ में
रकीबों को शामिल किये बिना!

*Translation:

Just a little grievance ...

I’m so grateful to Him
He is all compassion, all benevolence
the Creator of universe.

I hold no grudges against (it)
how so ever, what so ever
it is my luck and destiny.

Nor do I have a complaint
from you
since I know your nature inside out.

I only moan silently
that you could have provided me some respite
(while)abandoning me in my solitary recluse
if only you had not brought along my rival
(your other lover)
when you bade me final goodbye!
