Why has the springtime, after robbing my garden put the blame on autumn?
Accepted that someone has enmity for me, but why give it the name of friendship?

Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar, khijaa ko ye
iljaam kyo de diyaa
Why has the springtime, after robbing my garden,
put the blame on autumn
Kisee ne chalo dushmanee thee magar,
ise dosatee naam kyo de diyaa
Accepted that someone had enemity for me,
but why give it the name of friendship
Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,
Mai samazaa naheen aye mere humanashee,
(sajaa ye milee hain muze kisaliye)2
I don't understand, my friend,
why I got this punishment
Ke saakee ne lab se mere chhinakar,
kisee aaur ko jaam kyo de diyaa
That **saakee took the cup from my lips
and gave to someone else
Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,
Mujhe kyaa pataa thaa kabhee ishk mein,
(rakeebon ko katib banaate nahee)2
How was I to know that you never
ask rivals to be your letter writer
Khataa ho gayee muz se katib mere,
tere haath paigaam kyo de diyaa
I made a mistake of my letter writer,
in whose hand I gave your message
Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,
Khudaayaa yahaa tere insaaf ke
(bahot maine charche sune hain magar)2
Oh God I have heard so much about your justice
Sajaa kee jagah ek khataawaar ko,
bhalaa toone inaam kyo de diyaa
Instead of punishing one who made a mistake,
why have you rewarded him
Bahaaron ne meraa chaman lootakar,
saakee** is the lady hostess who fills and refills the cups of wine
