khauf-e-dozakh se kabhi
khwaahish-e-jannat se kabhi
mujh ko is tarz-e-ibaadat pe
hansi aati hai
sometimes fearing hell
sometimes desiring heaven
this manner of worship
makes me laugh

kabhi un mad-bhari aankhon se
peeya tha ek jaam
aaj tak hosh naheen,
hosh naheen, hosh naheen
once i drank a cup
from those intoxicating eyes
till now, i am not conscious
not conscious, not conscious
Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)
tamaam umr mera mujh se
ikhtilaaf rahaa
gila na kar jo kabhi
tera humnava na hua
my entire life, i struggled
and fought with myself
so, don’t complain that
i couldn’t be there for you
