Ghazab Kiya Tere Waade Pe Aitbar Kiya

Ghazab kiya tere waade pe aitbar kiya
Tamaam raat qayamat ka intezar kiya

Hansa hansa ke shab-e-wasl ashqbaar kiya
Tasalli de ke mujhe aur be-qarar kiya

Shikast-e-dil ki sada tu ne kab suni zaalim
Yeh aaina to sar-e-bazm taar taar kiya

Fasana-e-shab-e-gham un ko kya sunate Dagh
Ke jab woh aaye to khud subh ne pukaar kiya

What fatal folly I committed to place trusting faith in your promised word; Through the entire night, in agonizing sleeplessness, I awaited the Day of Judgment! Making me smile with sweet hopes, you left me drenched in tears on the night of union; Offering sweet consolations, you plunged my restless heart into deeper turmoil! When did your cruel ears ever listen to the silent cry of my shattered heart? Before the eyes of the entire gathering, you fractured this mirror into bleeding shards! How could I ever recount the tale of that sorrowful night of waiting to the beloved, O Dagh, When by the time that presence finally arrived, the dawn itself cried out that the night had fled!
