With this nazm Faiz Ahmed Faiz forays into poetry with purpose, revolutionising traditional Urdu poetry.
He writes 'Aur bhi dukh hai zamane mein muhabbat ke siva
Raahatein aur bhi hai wasl ki raahat ke siva', there are but pains aplenty beyond love, there are many that give solace beyond union.
We get a glimpse of Faiz's turbulent state of mind as he quotes a Persian poet Nizami 'Dil-e-bufro-khatm, jaan-e-khareedun' I have sold my heart and bought a soul.

Mujhse pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang
My love, don’t ask me to love you as I loved you before

Maine samjhaa tha ke tu hai to darakhshaan hai hayaat
I had assumed that as long as I have you, life is radiant

Tera gham hai to gham-e-dehar ka jhagdaa kyaa hai
What anguish in the world could possibly rival the anguish of being without you

Teri surat se hai aalam mein bahaaron ko sabaat
Your face is what lends assurance of spring everywhere

Teri aankhon ke siwaa duniyaa mein rakhkhaa kya hai
What is there in the world except for the beauty of your eyes

Tu jo mil jaaye to taqdir nigoon ho jaaye
If I won you, fate would be at my feet

Yoon na thaa maine faqat chaahaa thaa yoon ho jaaye
It wasn’t so, I had merely wished it was so

Mujhse pehli si muhobbat mere Mehboob na maang
My love, don’t ask me to love you as I loved you before

Anginat sadiyon ki taareeq bahemaanaa tilism
The countless centuries of dark and savage enchantment

Resham-o-atlas-o-kamkhwaab mein bunvaaye hue
Woven into silk and satin and brocade

Ja-ba-ja bikte hue koochaa-o-baazaar mein jism
Bodies everywhere being sold in lanes and marketplaces

Khaak mein lithade hue, khoon mein nehlaaye hue
Caked with dirt and bathed in blood

Laut jaati hai udhar ko bhi nazar, kya keeje?
My gaze returns there as well, what can I do?

Ab bhi dilkash hai tera husn, magar kya keeje?
Your beauty is still alluring, but what can I do?

Aur bhi dukh hai zamaane mein muhabbat ke siva
There are many other sorrows in this world besides the sorrow of love

Raahatein aur bhi hain wasl ki raahat ke siva
There are many other delights besides the delight of union

Mujhse pehli si muhabbat mere mehboob na maang
My love, don’t ask me to love you as I loved you before
