TuuT kar patte kab
apni shakh par waapas hue?
whoever got separated from the caravan
became the dust of the desert
when have fallen leaves
ever returned to their branch

oh messenger, this is not your job
please be on your way

who can deliver but my heart

phir khwaab kise dikhte hain
is there someone else
that lives in me besides myself?
i go sleep, but then
who sees the dreams

aise zinda thay ki
jeene ki alaamat hum thay
we were the flowers, the colors
the freshness of those moments
we lived like
we were the symbols of living

apne haathon se usne meri qabr par
chaadar-e-gul chaDaayi maza aa gaya
oh fana, am thankful that after my death
she herself came to honor my love
with her own hands she spread flowers
on my grave…it was so delightful

main ne us ko aakhiri khat mein
likhaa kuch bhi naheen
maybe she will break down
seeing my blank letter

i didn’t write anything

magar ab ye hai kisi maharabaan ke
tapaak ne bhi rula diya
there was a time when even a thousand
arrows in the heart did not cause me grief
but now even the warm handshake
of a friend makes me weep
thousand
sad
yet, but
well-wisher, friend
cordial spontaneity
make me cry

khoon mein Dubo kar laaye
to the one who will be writing
the history of this period
tell him to bring his pen
dipped in blood

zindagi dushwar ho jaaye

with waves of adversity
if life were to be all easy
how painful it would be

tanha bhi choD de
it's good that your mind
stands guard to the heart

do leave the heart alone

looking at my condition
she asked, smiling,
why, did you think loving me

haya ke daaman mein pal rahaa hai
in the simplicity of your manners
no one can even sense
the miracle of an apocalypse being
