Shiv Kumar Batalvi's - "Maenu TaaN Mere Dosta - Gazal" (Presentation - Desh Ratna)

Maenu TaaN Mere Dosta - Gazal
Maenu taaN mere dosta
Mere gham ne maareyae!
Hae jhooTH teri dosti ,
De dam ne maareyae!

Maenu te jeTH haaR te
Koi naheeN gila.
Mere chaman nu chet di
Shabnam ne maareyae!

Masiya di kaali raat da
Koi naheeN kasoor,
Saagar nu uhdi aapani
Poonam ne maareyae!

Ih kaun hae jo maut nu
Badnaam kar rihae?
Insaan nu insaan de
Janam ne maareyae!

ChaRheya si jihRa sooraja,
Dubana si us zaroor.
Koi jhooTH kahi riha hae,
Ki paCHim ne maareyae!

Maniya ki moiyaaN mitaraaN
Da gham vi maardae,
Bahuta par is dikhaave de,
Maatam ne maareyae!

Katil koi dushman naheeN
Mae THeek aakhdaaN,
‘Shiv’ nu te ‘Shiv’ de
Aapane mehram ne maareyae!
Maenu Te Mere Dosta - My Friend

My friend, it is my own sorrow
That has destroyed me.
It is a lie to think
That your love had the strength to do it.I have no complaint against
Heat or drought.
My garden was destroyed
By the dews of spring.

It is not the fault
Of the black night.
The ocean was defeated
By its beloved moon.
Who is it that
Blames death?
A man is destroyed,
By his birth.
The sun that rises
Is certain to sink.
He lies who says
The west destroyed it.

Yes, one can be destroyed
By grieving for dead friends,
Though it is more likely the result,
Of the display of that grief.

The enemy is not the murderer,
I tell you.
Shiv was killed
By those who loved him.
