1/5: hans

hum hain sookhe huye

taalab par baiThe hue hans

jo taalluq ko nibhaate huye

mar jaate hain

we are swans sitting

by a dried-up pond

we die, while staying

loyal to the bond

2/5: hans

ye bhi ik rang hai

shaayad meri mehroomi ka

koyi hans de to

mohabbat ka gumaan hota hai

maybe this too is

a shade of my deprivation

that if anyone smiles

it seems to me like love

3/5: hans

dekhi thi nabj meri to

hans kar bola hakeem

ke tere marz ka ilaaj

mehfil hai doston ki

feeling my pulse

my doctor smiled and said

the cure for your illness

is a party with friends

4/5: hans

hans ke farmaate hain

vo dekh ke haalat meri

kyuun tum aasaan samajhte the

mohabbat meri

looking at my condition

she asked, smiling,

why, did you think loving me

would be that easy?

5/5: hans

naala-e-bulbul-e-shaidaa

to suna hans hans kar

ab jigar thaam ke baiTho

meri baari aayi

the nightingale’s passionate lament

you heard and laughed it off

now hold your heart and listen

it is my turn now
