Being spellbound by desires and wishes

Fiddled with toys to achieve my wishes

I’m known to every niche of this place

Came countless of times to this place

Why am not inspired to go to any temple

Been misled by any one or a temple?

Ask my restive heart, O jubilant festivity!

Am not here of my will; brought to festivity

It’s still long time for Dooms Day to ensue

It’s vain waking me now for result to ensue?

Wishes worried me in countless of ways

If I’ve secluded in my own relaxing ways

Never was I gripped ever by alcohol

Efforts tried to make me kindle to alcohol

I’ve no taste in worldly leisure, Shad

 where I was!  But now been brought  here 

……………..

tamannāoñ meñ uljhāyā gayā huuñ

khilaune de ke bahlāyā gayā huuñ

huuñ is kūche ke har zarre se āgāh

idhar se muddatoñ aayā gayā huuñ

nahīñ uThte qadam kyuuñ jānib-e-dair

kisī masjid meñ bahkāyā gayā huuñ

dil-e-muztar se pūchh ai raunaq-e-bazm

maiñ ḳhud aayā nahīñ laayā gayā huuñ

saverā hai bahut ai shor-e-mahshar

abhī bekār uThvāyā gayā huuñ

satāyā aa ke pahroñ aarzū ne

jo dam bhar aap meñ paayā gayā huuñ

na thā maiñ mo’taqid e.ajāz-e-mai kā

baḌī mushkil se manvāyā gayā huuñ

kujā maiñ aur kujā ai ‘shād’ duniyā

kahāñ se kis jagah laayā gayā huun
