1/9: dhoop

kis zaalim ne

par peDon ke kaaT diye

aag ugalti dhoop mein

saaya kahin naheen

which cruel one has cut

the wings of the trees

in this spewing, scorching heat

there is no shade anywhere

2/9: dhoop

jazbe ki kaDi dhoop ho to

kya nahin mumkin

ye kis ne kaha

sang pighalta hi nahin hai

if there is intensity of passion

what is not possible?

who said that

the rock doesn't melt?

3/9: dhoop

jazbe ki kaDi dhoop ho to

kya nahin mumkin

ye kis ne kaha

sang pighalta hi nahin hai

if the heat of passion is intense

what is not possible

who said that

the rock doesn't melt?

4/9: dhoop

shauq chaDhtii dhoop

jaataa waqt ghaTtii chaanv hai

baa-wafaa jo aaj hain

kal bewafa ho jaayenge

passion is like the rising sun

and with time, the shade diminishes

those who are loyal today

will become disloyal tomorrow

5/9: dhoop

safar mein dhoop to hogi

jo chal sako to chalo

tum apne aap ko khud hi

badal sako to chalo

enduring the harsh sun of the journey

those who can keep going, keep going

if along the way, you can figure out

how to reinvent yourself, keep going

6/9: dhoop

kis ne sahraa mein mere waaste

rakhi hai ye chaanv

dhoop roke hai

mera chahne wala kaisa

who has provided a shade

for me in this desert

how are my dear ones able to

protect me from this searing heat

7/9: dhoop

dhoop mein niklo

ghaTaon mein naha kar dekho

zindagi kya hai

kitabon ko haTa kar dekho

get out into the sun

take a bath in the clouds

figure out life

by first closing the book

Theme:Grit, Resilience & Courage (36)

8/9: dhoop

kabhi din ki dhoop mein jhoom ke

kabhi shab ke phool ko chuum ke

yun hi saath saath chalen sada

kabhi khatm apna safar na ho

sometimes swaying in the sunshine

sometimes kissing evening flowers

let us walk together forever

may our journey never end

Theme:Home, Country & Belonging (23)

9/9: dhoop

shadeed dhoop mein

saare darakht sookh gaye

bas ek dua ka shajar tha

jo besamar na hua

in the intense heat

all the trees dried up

only the tree of prayer remained

never failing to bear fruit
