1/4: badan

ye zard zard chehra

ye laghari badan mein

kyaa ishq mein hua hai

ai ‘mir’ haal tera

your face so pale

and body so frail

what love is it, ‘mir’,

that got you to this state

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

2/4: badan

kya badan hoga ki jis ke

kholte jaame ka band

barg-e-gul ki tarah

har naakhun mo'attar ho gaya

what body it must be

when i untie the drawstrings

like the petals of a flower

my nails smell of perfume too

Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)

3/4: badan

chipak raha hai badan par

lahu se pairaahan

hamaare jaib ko ab

haajat-e-rafu kya hai

my bloodied clothes are

sticking to my body

what is the point of

mending a tear in my pocket

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

4/4: badan

ai raat, mujhe maa ki tarah

god mein le le

din bhar ki mashaqqat se

badan TuuT raha hai

o night, take me into your lap

like my mother

the toil and troubles of the day

have broken my body

Theme:Miscellany (44)
