1/5: asar

bas tere aane ki

ik afvaah ka aisa asar

kaise kaise log thay beemaar

achchhe ho gaye

just the rumour of your arrival

had such an effect

all sorts of sick people

got cured instantly

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

2/5: asar

kis ki talaash hai hamen

kis ke asar mein hain

jab se chale hain ghar se

musalsal safar mein hain

what am i in quest of?

under whose influence am i?

since the time i left home

i’ve been continuously traveling

Theme:Quest, Journey & Destination (44)

3/5: asar

meri aah ka tum asar

dekh lena

wo aayenge thaame jigar

dekh lena

the effect of my sighs

you just watch

my beloved will come, heart in hand

you just watch

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

4/5: asar

ghazal mein bandish-e-alfaaz

hi nahi kaafi

jigar ka khoon bhi chaahiye

kuch asar ke liye

just a string of words is

not enough to make a poem

you also need a drop

of your heart's blood for it to last

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

5/5: asar

ishq ki choT ka kuchh

dil pe asar ho to sahi

dard kam ho ya zyaada ho

magar ho to sahi

let love’s hurt have

some effect on the heart

whether the pain is less or more

let there at least be some

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)
