Ham se jaya na Gaya

हमसे जाया न गया

हमसे जाया न गया, हमको बुलाया न गया बेरुख़ी इतनी बढ़ी, हमको भुला ही दिया गया

We could not go on our own, nor were we called. The indifference grew so much that we were simply forgotten.

हम तो मुंतज़िर ही रहे अक्सर उनके बुलावे के लिए वो बुलाते भी अगर, तो सिर्फ एक दिखावे के लिए क्या करें, हमसे ख़ुद से भी अब जाया न गया हमसे जाया न गया, हमको बुलाया न गया

We kept waiting constantly for their invitation. Even if they had invited us, it would have been just for show. What could we do? We couldn't bring ourselves to go uninvited. We could not go on our own, nor were we called.

ये रंजिशें कैसे बढ़ीं, हमको मालूम न था पर वो मौक़ा भी तहक़ीक़ के माकूल न था फिर कोई मौक़ा दोबारा हमारे हाथ न आया हमसे जाया न गया, हमको बुलाया न गया

We did not realize how these grievances escalated, Yet that moment wasn't appropriate for probing into it. After that, no second chance ever came our way. We could not go on our own, nor were we called.

वो पेश आते रहे हमसे बड़ी ख़ुश-अस्लूपी से क्या ख़बर थी खो देंगे जो मिला था ख़ुश-नसीबी से हमसे उल्फ़त का नग़्मा फिर से गाया न गया हमसे जाया न गया, हमको बुलाया न गया

They kept treating us with such warmth and elegance. Who knew we would lose what good fortune had brought us? We could never bring ourselves to sing the song of love again. We could not go on our own, nor were we called.

हमारी उलझन थी वो बुलाते, उन्हें गुमाँ था हम ख़ुद आते इसी अना के सबब हमने गुज़ारीं तन्हाई में सब रातें उनसे भी सोज़-ए-दिल फिर से सुनाया न गया हमसे जाया न गया, हमको बुलाया न गया बेरुख़ी इतनी बढ़ी, हमको भुला ही दिया गया

Our dilemma was expecting an invite; they assumed we would come on our own. Because of this pride (ego), we spent all our nights in solitude. Even they could not express the burning ache of their heart again. We could not go on our own, nor were we called. The indifference grew so much that we were simply forgotten.
