Ishq khud maa'il-e-hijaab hai aaj
Husn majboor-e-iztiraab hai aaj
Today, the lover's passions are possessed with reticence, they are restrained; and the beloved is helpless and anxious.

Naalaah-e-dil ki dil se laag nahin
Naghmaah-aazurdah-e-rubaab hai aaj
The lamentations of heart are as if dissociated from the heart today. The song that used to play melodies of joy on the instrument of heart, is evoking a gloomy and dejected echo today.
The first line in this verse is so wonderfully crafted. 'Laag' is animosity, hostility. The poetic intent here is that even in hostility there is a relationship, a connectedness; it is not an indifference. But today, the heart does not feel connected or does not care even, for the sorrow and weeping emanating from it.
Naalaah = plea, entreaty, lamentation, moan
Dil = heart
Ki = of
Laag = animosity, dislike, hostility; the root word is 'lag', to be connected; even in hostility there is a relationship

Mai-kadaa gham-kadaa hai tere bagair
Sarnigoon sheeshaa-o-sharaab hai aaj
O my beloved, without you, the tavern where the wine of happiness used to flow, is a desolate abode of unhappiness today. The wine, the wine containers, the wine cups – all have their heads bowed with regret and disappointment.

Zindagi jis mein saans leti thhee
Wo zamaanah khayaal-o-khwaab hai aaj
The time when life used to breathe easy, the breath of happiness, today that time is but wisp of imagination.

The bubbling passions of the heart are laid to waste today and the story of youth is but a legend of the past now.
