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.
