aankh ki ye ek hasrat thi

ki bas poori hui

aansuon mein bheeg jaane ki

havas poori hui

the eye held a longing

that is now fulfilled

the craving to bathe in tears

is now quenched

phir nazar me phool mehke

dil me phir shamein jalen

phir tasavvur ne liya

us bazm me jaane ka naam

flowers bloomed in sight again

and, again, my heart lit up

when i imagined again

going to the joyful gathering
