Need english translation for this nice ghazal sang by Chitra Singh. Thanks

dard ba.Dakar fugaa.N na ho jaaye
ye zamii.n aasamaa.N na ho jaaye

dil me.n Duubaa huaa jo nashtar hai
mere dil kii zubaa.N na ho jaaye

dil ko le liijiye jo lenaa hai
phir ye saudaa giraa.N na ho jaaye

aah kiije magar latiif-tariin
lab tak aa kar dhuaa.N na ho jaaye

[madhurdixit]

dard ba.Dakar fugaa.N na ho jaaye

Don’t let the pain become vicious
ye zamii.n aasamaa.N na ho jaaye

Don’t let the earth become the sky

dil me.n Duubaa huaa jo nashtar hai

The blade which is sunk in the heart
mere dil kii zubaa.N na ho jaaye

Don’t let it become the voice of my heart

dil ko le liijiye jo lenaa hai

Take the heart whoever wants to take it
phir ye saudaa giraa.N na ho jaaye

Then don’t let the deal become costly

aah kiije magar latiif-tariin

Sigh but playfully
lab tak aa kar dhuaa.N na ho jaaye

Don’t let it come to the lips and become smoke

Thanks again madhu. I can count on you all the time.
