haan woh nahin khuda-parast
jaao wo bewafa sahi
jis ko ho deen-o-dil azeez
us ki gali mein jaaye kyun
yes, she is not a believer
yes, she is unfaithful too
if you so value faith and heart
then why keep going to her street
Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)
khilna kahin chupa bhi hai
chaahat ke phool ka
li ghar mein saans
aur gali tak mehak gayi
has the blooming of love’s flower
ever been discreet?
i smelled the flower at home
and the fragrance filled the streets
ujaale apni yaadon ke
hamaare saath rahne do
na jaane kis gali mein
zindagi ki shaam ho jaaye
let our bright memories
continue to stay with us
as who knows where
life’s evening might fall
Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)
zaroor teri gali se
guzar hua hoga
ki aaj baad-e-saba
beqarar aayi hai
surely, it must have
passed through your street
for today, the morning zephyr
arrived here a bit restless
Theme:Nature, World & Universe (44)
apni gali mein mujhko
na kar dafan baad-e-qatal
mere pate se khalaq ko
kyon tera ghar mile?
please don’t bury me
in your lane after my murder
why should people find your house
while looking for me
Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
ek ishq hai ki jis ki gali
ja raha huun main
aur dil ki dhaDkanon se bhi
ghabra raha huun main
there is this love
who’s street i am going to
and i am terrified
of my own heartbeat
