Heart of mine, so worthless/ Dil Cheez Hai Kya Jaana

Dil Cheez Hai Kya Jaana
Yeh Jaa'n Bhi Tumhari Hai
Teri Baahon Main Dam Niklay
Hasrat Yeh Humari Hai

Roti Hoon Tadapti Hoon
Bujhti Hi Nahin Zaalim
Ik Raat Judai Ki
So Raat Say Bhari Hai

Phoolon Ki Qadar Poocho
Us Dard Kay Maaray Say
Jis Shakhs Nay Kaanton Pay
Ik Umer Guzari Hai


Ghum Ishq-o-Mohabbat Kay
Chalo Pooch Layn Sadiq Say
Ik Bazi Mohabbat Ki
Us Shakhs Nay Haari Hai

Teri Baahon Main Dam Niklay
Hasrat Yeh Humari Hai
Dil Cheez Hai Kya Jaana
Yeh Jaa'n Bhi Tumhari Hai

Heart of mine, so worthless,
This life too, belongs to you.
In your arms I breathe my last,
Is only wish this heart longs.

Weep and Wail, O'heartless,
Never seems To dry.
This night of seperation,
Longer than hundred nights.

What flowers are worth?
Ask the lamenting one.
A traveller, who walked
On thorns, all his life .

Pathos of love and passion,
Lets go and ask 'Sadiq'.
Lost a wager to love,
Who with his life.

In your arms I breathe my last,
Is only wish this heart longs.
Heart of mine, so worthless,
This life too, belongs to you.

-- SM Sadiq, [roughly translated by Toufeeq]

Poetry is not one of the best or 'deep' you will find, like the likes of Ghalib or Rumi. As usual the poetry in movie/pop songs is for everybody, and is kept 'light'. Nonetheless, the song is one of my fav. Nice tune, good singer (Shabnam Majeed?). Listen to this song here (remixed Bally Sagoo version)

The day winter snow melted.

Frozen was the creek,
As winter winds danced.
Each drop imprisoned,
Icy blue their tears turned
At nowhere a sailor struck
Cursing northern winds.
When hit the first ray of shine
The little hearts came to life.
Forgetful ice, winter had turned them,
Divine ray of shine breathed soul in them.
Not have they forgotten their path.
Again they go where they belonged.
The day winter snow melted.
