Aaj Koi Baat Ho Gayi - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

aaj ko’ii baat ho gayii

vo na aaye raat ho gayii

Something must have happened today

my beloved did not come and it is night now.

jab vo mere saath ho gaye

dunyaa mere saath ho gayii

When she came along with me

the entire world came along.

jab vo milne aaye raat ko

merii chaand-raat ho gayii

When she came to meet me in the night

the night became the night of new moon (the implication being the first night

of the festival of Eid).

mujh se barham aap kyaa hu’e

sari qaynaat ho gayii

When you became upset with me

the whole world became upset.

ae dil-e-tabaah Gham ye hai

rusvaa unkii zaat ho gayii

O my ruined heart!

the pain is

that her person suffered ignominy.

mar gaye mariiz-e-shaam-e-Gham

dard se nijaat ho gayii

The sufferers of the evenings of pain have died

and relieved of their sufferings.

purnam aa gaye vo mere ghar

mutmaiin hayaat ho gayii

Misty-eyed, she came to my house

and my life became easy.
