Shikayat Lyrics (with English Meaning) – Akki

Main Likhne Ko Baitha Tha Teri Shikayat Abhi
I sat down just now to write my complaints about you,
Phir Yaad Aaya Apno Ko Badnaam Karte Nahin
Then I remembered that one does not bring shame to their own.

Yeh Dil Bola Jaane De Aankhon Ko Pyaari Hai Woh
My heart said to let it go, for she is still cherished by my eyes,
Toh Maine Apni Bhi Thodi Si Shartein Rakhi
So in turn, I laid down a few conditions of my own.

Ki Tere Bina Akela Hi Sahi Main Ab Na Dooja Chahiye
I am fine being alone without you; I no longer need anyone else.
Main Aankhen Band Karke Letun Mujhko Tu Dikhayi De
When I lie down and close my eyes, it is you I should see.
Yeh Aadhi Ishq Ki Jo Le Gayi Hai Pyaar Mera Door
This incomplete love has carried my heart far away—
Usko Dhundhna Hai Palkon Se Yeh Dhool Hataiye
I must find it; clear this dust from my sight.

Milega Waqt Jo Kabhi Toh Khud Se Poochna Zara
If you ever find the time, just ask yourself this:
Ki Meri Galtiyan Thi Kya Jo Dil Yeh Toot Sa Gaya Hai
What mistakes did I make that left my heart so broken?

Tera Apna Hi Toh Tha Main, Mera Naam Bhi Yaad
I was yours, after all; you even remember my name.
Aur Ek Main Hoon Jo Abhi Bhi Tujhko Bhool Na Saka
And then there is me, who still cannot forget you.

Main Meri Aakhri Saanson Mein Hoon Ghum
I am lost within my final breaths,
Par Meri Aakhri Saanson Mein Bhi Tum
Yet even in my final breaths, there is only you.

Musafir Main Manzil Ki Raahon Mein Bhatka Hua
I am a traveler who has lost his way on the path to the destination,
Phir Yaad Aaya Manzil Hai Ab Woh Kisi Aur Ki
Then I recalled that the destination now belongs to someone else.
Socha Bula Loon Dobara Par Maa Ne Kaha
I thought to call out to you again,
Ki Gairon Ki Cheezon Pe Haath Apna Rakhte Nahin
But my mother told me not to reach for what is not mine.

Main Likhne Ko Baitha Tha Teri Shikayat Abhi
I sat down just now to write my complaints about you,
Phir Yaad Aaya Apno Ko Badnaam Karte Nahin
then I remembered that one does not bring shame to their own.

Yeh Dil Bola Jaane De Aankhon Ko Pyaari Hai Woh
My heart said to let it go, for she is still cherished by my eyes,
Toh Maine Apni Bhi Thodi Si Shartein Rakhi
so in turn, I laid down a few conditions of my own.

Miloge Kabhi Humein Sunehri Fizaon Mein
If you ever meet me amidst a golden haze,
Toh Ik Baari Haath Mera Thaamna
Then just for a moment, please take my hand.

Tanha Hoon Bheed Mein Yeh Duniya Bhi Jeetke
I am lonely in this crowd, even after winning the world;
Chaahun Ik Baari Tumse Haarna
For once, I want to experience defeat at your hands.

Kalam Main Nashe Mein Uthane Se Darta Hoon Ab
I fear picking up my pen under any influence;
Ki Chhodo Ab Kya Hi Kisi Ko Rulana Bhala
What good is making someone cry now?

Woh Sote Hain Befiqr Hoke Unhein Kya Khabar
She sleeps without a care in the world, what would she know
Ki Raatein Sharabon Mein Apni Bhi Katne Lagi
That my nights have also begun to pass in the haze of alc-o-hol.

Main Likhne Ko Baitha Tha Teri Shikayat Abhi
I sat down just now to write my complaints about you,
Phir Yaad Aaya Apno Ko Badnaam Karte Nahin
Then I remembered that one does not bring shame to their own.

Yeh Dil Bola Jaane De Aankhon Ko Pyaari Hai Woh
My heart said to let it go, for she is still cherished by my eyes,
Toh Maine Apni Bhi Thodi Si Shartein Rakhi
So in turn, I laid down a few conditions of my own.
