1/3: hujuum

hai aaj ye gila ki

akela hai 'shahryar'

tarsoge kal hujuum mein

tanhai ke liye

your complaint today is

you are lonely, ‘shahryar’

tomorrow in the crowd,

you will long for solitude

2/3: hujuum

humsafar chahiye

hujuum nahin

ek musaafir bhi

qafila hai mujhe

need a companion

not a crowd

one such person

is a caravan for me

3/3: hujuum

jazbaat ki hujuum mein

alfaaz kho gaye

izhaar-e-muddaa ki

ijaazat agar mili

in the throng of emotions

i lost my words

when i was allowed

to express my desire
