Ranjish Hi Sahi Dil Hi Dukhane Ke Liye Aa (Complete Ghazal)

Ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhane ke liye aa
Aa phir se mujhe chhod ke jaane ke liye aa

Kuchh to mere pindaar-e-mohabbat ka bharam rakh
Tu bhi to kabhi mujh ko manane ke liye aa

Pehle se maraasim na sahi phir bhi kabhi to
Rasm-o-rah-e-duniya hi nibhane ke liye aa

Kis kis ko batayenge judai ka sabab hum
Tu mujh se khafa hai to zamane ke liye aa

Ik umr se hun lazzat-e-girya se bhi mehroom
Ae rahat-e-jaan mujh ko rulaane ke liye aa

Ab tak dil-e-khush-fehm ko tujh se hain umeedain
Yeh aakhri sham'ein bhi bujhane ke liye aa

Even if in resentment and grievance, come if only to break my heart again Come, if only to abandon me once more! Preserve at least some shred of my love's tender pride; Come, if only once, to soothe and comfort me! Even if our former intimacy no longer exists, still come sometimes If only to fulfill the polite conventions of the world! To how many people must I explain the cause of our parting? Even if you are angry with me, come for the sake of the watchful world! For a lifetime I have been deprived even of the cathartic bliss of weeping; O comfort of my soul, come if only to make me weep again! Even now this naive, hopeful heart clings to expectations of you; Come now, to extinguish these last flickering candles of hope!
