1/7: hazaar

uD jaaunga bahaar mein

maanind-e-bu-e-gul

zanjeer mere paa-e-junoon mein

hazaar Daal

i will fly away in spring

like the fragrance of flowers

even if you shackle my feet of passion

with a thousand chains

Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)

2/7: hazaar

hazaar baar zamaana

idhar se guzra hai

nayi nayi si hai kuchh

teri raahguzar phir bhi

a thousand times has

the world passed by here

even then, your (love’s) path

seems new every time

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

3/7: hazaar

hazaar barq gire

laakh aandhiyaan uTThen

vo phool khil ke rahenge

jo khilne waale hain

let a thousand lightnings struck

let many storms rise...

those flowers will keep blooming

that are given to blooming

Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)

4/7: hazaar

yuun ‘abroo’ banaave

dil mein hazaar baaten

jab ruu-ba-ruu ho

tere guftaar bhool jaave

what, abroo, you think of

a thousand things to say in your heart

but when face-to-face

you don’t remember anything to say

5/7: hazaar

kabhi yun tha ki hazaar teer

jigar mein the to dukhi na the

magar ab ye hai kisi maharabaan ke

tapaak ne bhi rula diya

there was a time when even a thousand

arrows in the heart did not cause me grief

but now even the warm handshake

of a friend makes me weep

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)

6/7: hazaar

dil hi to hai na sang-o-khisht

dard se bhar na aaye kyun

royenge hum hazaar baar

koyi hamen sataaye kyun

it is a heart, not a stone or a brick

why won’t it be filled with pain

we may weep a thousand times

why should others care or bother

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

7/7: hazaar

tum salaamat raho

hazaar baras

har baras ke hon

din pachaas hazaar

may you stay well

for a thousand years

may each of those years

have fifty thousand days

Theme:Miscellany (44)
