Lagta Nahin Hai Dil Mera Ujde Dayaar Mein
Kiski Bani Hai Aalam-E-Napaydaar Mein
Keh Do In Hasraton se Kahin Aur Ja Basein
Itni Jageh Kahan Hai Dil-E-Daagdar Mein
Umr-E-Daraaz Mang kar Laye The Chaar Din
Do Aarzoo Mein kat Gaye Do Intezaar Mein
Kitna Hai Badnaseeb 'Zafar' Dafan Ke Liye
Do Gaz Zameen Bhi Na Mili Kuch-E-Yaar Mein
Lagta Nahin Hai Dil Mera Ujde Dayaar Mein
Kiski Bani Hai Aalam-E-Napaydaar Mein
-- [Bahadur Shah Zafar]
My heart is not happy, in this barren city
Who has ever felt fulfilled, in this mortal world
Please tell my wishes to go away somewhere else
There is not enough room for them in my sorrowful heart
I had requested for a long life of four days
Two were spent in praying/wishing and two were spent in waiting
How ill-fated Zafar is! For his own burial
He couldn't even get two yards of earth in land of the beloved
