[Verse 1]

تیرے پیار میں ہم نے کیا کیا نہ سہا

Tere pyaar mein humne kya kya na saha

What all did I not endure in your love?

تو نے چھوڑ دیا، ہم نے پھر بھی تجھے چاہا

Tu ne chhod diya, humne phir bhi tujhe chaha

You left me, yet I still loved you.

دنیا نے کہا، تو پاگل ہے دیوانہ

Duniya ne kaha, tu pagal hai deewana

The world said, you are crazy, a madman.

ہم نے کہا، یہی ہے میرا افسانہ

Humne kaha, yahi hai mera afsana

I said, this is my story.

[Chorus]

ناکام عاشق ہوں میں، میرا کوئی ٹھکانہ نہیں

Nakaam aashiq hoon main, mera koi thikana nahin

I am a failed lover, I have no place.

جس کو چاہا دل سے، وہ اب میرا زمانہ نہیں

Jis ko chaha dil se, woh ab mera zamana nahin

The one I loved from the heart, is no longer my time (era).

راتوں کو تیری یاد میں روتا رہا

Raaton ko teri yaad mein rota raha

At nights, I kept crying in your memory.

تیری تصویر کو سینے سے لگاتا رہا

Teri tasveer ko seene se lagata raha

I kept holding your picture to my chest.

[Verse 2]

تو خوش ہے کسی اور کی بانہوں میں

Tu khush hai kisi aur ki baahon mein

You are happy in someone else's arms.

میں تنہا تیری گلیوں میں پھرتا رہا

Main tanha teri galiyon mein phirta raha

I kept wandering alone in your streets.

تو نے وعدے کیے تھے، ساتھ نبھانے کے

Tu ne waade kiye the, saath nibhane ke

You had made promises to stay together,

ساتھ جینے کے، ساتھ مر جانے کے

Saath jeene ke, saath mar jaane ke

To live together, to die together.

[Chorus]

تو نے توڑ دیے سارے وعدے، اے صنم

Tu ne tod diye saare waade, aye sanam

You broke all promises, oh beloved.

اب تو یاد بھی نہیں، میرا نام و نشاں

Ab to yaad bhi nahin, mera naam o nishaan

Now you don't even remember my name or trace.

ناکام عاشق ہوں میں، میرا کوئی ٹھکانہ نہیں

Nakaam aashiq hoon main, mera koi thikana nahin

I am a failed lover, I have no place.

جس کو چاہا دل سے، وہ اب میرا زمانہ نہیں

Jis ko chaha dil se, woh ab mera zamana nahin

The one I loved from the heart, is no longer my time (era).

[Verse 3]

لوگ کہتے ہیں بھول جا اس کو

Log kehte hain bhool ja us ko

People say forget her.

دل کہتا ہے کیسے بھول جاؤں اس کو

Dil kehta hai kaise bhool jaaun us ko

My heart says how can I forget her?

جس کی خاطر میں نے دنیا چھوڑ دی

Jis ki khatir maine duniya chhod di

For whom I left the world,

اس نے ہی مجھ کو تنہا چھوڑ دیا

Us ne hi mujh ko tanha chhod diya

She herself left me alone.

[Chorus]

میری محبت کو تو نے کھیل سمجھا

Meri mohabbat ko tu ne khel samjha

You considered my love a game.

میرے آنسوؤں کو تو نے جھیل سمجھا

Mere aansuon ko tu ne jheel samjha

You considered my tears a lake.

اب میں کس سے کہوں اپنے دل کا حال

Ab main kis se kahoon apne dil ka haal

Now to whom shall I tell the state of my heart?

کوئی سنتا نہیں، میری آہ و فغاں

Koi sunta nahin, meri aah o faghan

No one listens to my sighs and laments.

[Verse 4]

اگر کبھی میری یاد آئے تجھے

Agar kabhi meri yaad aaye tujhe

If ever you remember me,

میرے گانے سن کر رونا آئے تجھے

Mere gaane sun kar rona aaye tujhe

And listening to my songs makes you cry,

تو سمجھ جانا، میں نے سچا پیار کیا تھا

To samajh jaana, maine saccha pyaar kiya tha

Then understand, I had truly loved you.

تیری خاطر میں نے سب کچھ وار دیا تھا

Teri khatir maine sab kuch waar diya tha

For your sake, I had sacrificed everything.

[Chorus]

اب تو جا چکی ہے، میں اکیلا رہ گیا

Ab to ja chuki hai, main akela reh gaya

Now you have left, I am left alone.

تیری یادوں کے سہارے میں جیتا رہ گیا

Teri yaadon ke sahare mein jeeta reh gaya

I kept living on the support of your memories.

اے خدا، اس کو خوش رکھنا جہاں بھی رہے

Aye Khuda, us ko khush rakhna jahan bhi rahe

Oh God, keep her happy wherever she may be.

میرا کیا ہے، میں تو ناکام عاشق ہوں

Mera kya hai, main to nakaam aashiq hoon

What about me? I am just a failed lover.

Lines explained

“ناکام عاشق ہوں میں، میرا کوئی ٹھکانہ نہیں”

Nakaam aashiq hoon main, mera koi thikana nahin

I am a failed lover, I have no place.

This line introduces the central theme of the song: the singer's identity as a 'failed lover' who has lost his place or purpose after heartbreak.

“جس کو چاہا دل سے، وہ اب میرا زمانہ نہیں”

Jis ko chaha dil se, woh ab mera zamana nahin

The one I loved from the heart, is no longer my time (era).

The phrase 'mera zamana nahin' implies that the person he loved is no longer part of his life or future, marking a significant loss.

“اس نے ہی مجھ کو تنہا چھوڑ دیا”

Us ne hi mujh ko tanha chhod diya

She herself left me alone.

This line highlights the irony and pain of the situation: he sacrificed everything for her, only for her to abandon him, emphasizing his deep betrayal and loneliness.
