Majboori Shayari in English

I wanted to stay with you forever,
But my life had different plans for us.

Majboori mein jab koi kisi se door hota hai,
Zaroori nahi ke wo insaan hi bewafa hota hai.

I smile because I have to,
Not because I am happy with how things are.

But they don’t see the tears I hide in my eyes,
I am just a prisoner of my own responsibilities.

Bas izhaar karne ka haq kho diya hai maine,

Thinking how simple life would be if we were together,
But reality is much harsher than my dreams.

Unhe kya pata halaat ne mujhe kya bana diya hai,
Ab bas khud se hi ladta rehta hoon har pal.

Accepting things you cannot change is hard,
But that is exactly what majboori teaches you,
It’s the art of living with a broken soul.

Par shayad meri kismat mein tera sath nahi tha,
Majboori ne humein sirf yaadon ka sahara diya hai.

I smile at you and I act like everything is okay,
But every time you talk about him, I die a little,
Loving you in secret is my daily majboori.

It always brings me close to what I want,
Only to take it away when I finally reach for it.

Majboori ka dusra naam hi shayad kismat hai.

But my soul is still wandering in the mountains.

Waiting for a day that will probably never come.

Zindagi ki race mein itna aage nikal aaye hain hum,

I wanted to be a singer and touch the hearts of many,
But now I am just another employee in a big city,

Aur jo kar rahe hain usmein hamara dil nahi lagta.

I am successful in the eyes of the whole world,
But in my own eyes, I am a failure who gave up,
Helplessness is when you achieve everything but your dream.

Kisi ko ghar chalana hai to kisi ko karz utarna hai,

I look at my old sketches and I feel like crying,
They remind me of the person I could have been,
If only majboori hadn’t knocked on my door so early.

Waqt ne mere pankh kaat diye bahut pehle hi,
Ab bas zameen par chalne ki aadat daal li hai maine,

Our hearts matched perfectly with each other,
But our bank accounts had a huge difference.

Duniya ki rasmon ne humein juda kar diya,
Warna hamara ishq to khuda ki ibadat jaisa tha.

You belong to the palaces and I to the streets,
This is the majboori that we can never change.

Log kya kahenge ye soch kar hum ruk gaye,
Warna mohabbat mein to humne jaan dene ki sochi thi,
Par samaj ki deewarein bahut oonchi hoti hain doston.

And I am not brave enough to make you live in poverty,
My love is lost in the game of status and money.

Amiri aur garibi ke beech mein mohabbat mar gayi,
Na tumne himmat dikhayi na maine zid ki kabhi,

The world only values the gold on your body,
They don’t care about the gold in your heart,
I am helpless because I have nothing but my love.

Jaat-paat aur paison ne kitne ghar ujaad diye,
Kitne dil toot gaye bas is dikhawe ki duniya mein,
Majboori ka fayda hamesha ye zamana hi uthata hai.

I watch you from a distance at the big parties,
Knowing that I can never be a part of your world,
This social gap is the cruelest majboori of all.

Unke mehalon mein hamari koi jagah nahi thi,
Humein to bas apni koti mein hi khush rehna tha,
Mohabbat ki har jung hum shaan se haar gaye hain.

I am letting you go to find your own happiness,
Even if it means I will be unhappy forever.

Tujhe chhodna meri sabse badi majboori thi,
Warna tujhse juda hone ka khayal bhi maut jaisa hai.

Go and live the life you always wanted to live,
I am staying back with the memories of us.

Alvida kehna asaan nahi tha mere liye bhi,
Par teri khushi ke liye ye kadam uthana hi pada,
Majboori ne mujhe tujhse door kar diya hamesha ke liye.

I won’t call you or text you ever again,
Because I want you to forget me and move on,
My absence is the last gift I can give to you.

Bhulana tujhe namumkin hai par koshish zaroor karunga,
Ke ab hamara sath rehna mumkin nahi bacha hai,
Waqt ki majboori ne humein ajnabi bana diya hai.

I watched you walk away and I didn’t stop you,
Because I knew that I had nothing left to offer you,
Letting you go was my final act of true love.

Khush rehna tum jahan bhi raho meri jaan,
Meri duayein hamesha tere sath rahengi har pal,
Majboori ne humein milne nahi diya to kya hua.

It hurts to see you becoming someone else’s now,
But I accept this reality with a heavy, broken heart,
My majboori has finally taken you away from me.

Ab na koi umeed hai aur na koi intezaar baki hai,
Humne to apni kismat se samjhauta kar liya hai,
Tujhe kho kar maine khud ko bhi kahin kho diya.
