1/4: gulaab

main chahta tha ki

us ko gulaab pesh karuun

vo khud gulaab tha

us ko gulaab kya deta

i wished to present

her with a rose

when she herself is a rose

what rose can i possibly offer her

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

2/4: gulaab

burii sarisht na badli

jagah badalne se

chaman mein aa ke bhi

kaanTa gulaab ho na saka

bad nature doesn't get better

by changing location

even by entering the garden

the thorn couldn't turn into a flower

Theme:Nature, World & Universe (44)

3/4: gulaab

wo khaar khaar hai

shaakh-e-gulaab ki maanind

main zakhm zakhm huun

phir bhi gale lagaaun use

she is prickly, prickly

like the branch of a rose

i am wounded, wounded

but yet longing for an embrace

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

4/4: gulaab

azaab hoti hain aksar

shabaab ki ghadiyan

gulaab apni hi khushbu se

darne lagte hain

tormenting often are

the times of youth

the rose starts to fear

its own fragrance

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
