Fareed Ayaz - Shikwa/Jawab-e-Shikwa lyrics

Kyon ziaan kaar banun Sood framosh rahoon? (Kyon Ziaan kaar banun Sood framosh rahoon?) Fikr-e-farda na karun Mahw-e-ghum-e-dosh rahoon (Fikr-e-farda na karun Mahw-e-ghum-e-dosh rahoon) Why should I play the part of the loser and refrain from seeking what I can gain? Why shouldn't I think of the future, instead of mourning the losses of the past? Kyon.. main ziaan kaar banun Sood framosh rahoon? Fikr-e-farda na karun Mahw-e-ghum-e-dosh rahoon Naale bulbul ke sunoon.. haaye! Naale bulbul ke sunoon Aur hama tan gosh rahoon Hamnawa, main bhi koi gul hoon ke khamosh rahoon Why should I listen to the woes of the nightingale? Why should I listen to the woes of the nightingale with such interest? My friend, I am not a flower who will remain silent Jurrat aamoz! Jurrat aamoz meri taab-e-sukhan hai mujhko (Jurrat aamoz meri taab-e-sukhan hai mujhko) Jurrat aamoz meri taab-e-sukhan hai mujhko Courage! I have the courage to speak up Shikwa Allah se khakam badahan hai mujhko Shikwa Allah se khakam badahan hai mujhko Shikwa Allah se khakam badahan hai mujhko Shikwa Allah se khakam badahan hai mujhko… Unfortunately I have a grievance with my creator Hai baja, Hai baja, Hai baja, Hai baja… Hai baja Shewa-e-tasleem mein mashhoor hain hum (Hai baja Shewa-e-tasleem mein mashhoor hain hum) Qissa-e-dard sunaate hain ke majboor hain hum (Qissa-e-dard sunaate hain ke majboor hain hum) Saaz-e-Khamoosh hain, Faryaad se Ma'moor hain hum (Saaz-e-Khamoosh hain, Faryaad se Ma'moor hain hum) Naala aata hai agar lab pe to Ma'zuur hain hum It's true, It's true, It's true، It's true It's true that we are known for being dutiful We only tell this tale of woe because we have a predicament Though we remain quiet, We have grievances to share If a complaint reaches our lips, We are unable to express it Ai Khuda shikwa-e Ai Khuda shikwa-e-arbab-e-wafa bhi sun le (Ai Khuda shikwa-e-arbab-e-wafa bhi sun le) Ai Khuda shikwa-e-arbab-e-wafa bhi sun le O God a complaint O God listen to the complaint of these loyal mortals Khugar-e-hamd se thora sa gila bhi sun le Khugar-e-hamd se thoda sa gila bhi sun le Khugar-e-hamd se thoda sa gila bhi sun le Khugar-e-hamd se thoda sa gila bhi sun le… A small complaint from your devotee Hum se pahle tha ajab tere jahan ka manzar Kahin masjood the patther Kahin ma'bood shajar Khugar-e-paikar mahsoos thi insan ki nazar Maanta phir koi andekhe Khuda ko kyonkar? Kyonkar? Kyonkar? Kyonkar? Kyonkar?
