THE TOYS YOU OFFER, DON'T AMUSE ME

                                              

TU NE SAMJHI HI NAHIN KYA HAI  SHIKAYAT MERI 

 "Sonne chaandi ki tamanna hai na resham ki talaash,

Khaaq hi khaaq hai daulat ka sunehra aakash ,

Inn khilonon se na behlegi tabiyat meri

Tuune  samjhi hi nahin kya hai shikayat meri ." Ali Sardar Jafri 

My English translation is this :

 

(Never did I desire , gold, silver or expensive  silks ,

This wealth  oriented golden  sky doesn't allure me , 

Nothing more than  dust it remains for me.

These toys you offer, can't  amuse me ,

These toys you bring ,  can't distract my heart's ache, 

And then  you never understood  

what my  complaint is all about   .)
