1/3: lahu

subh-e-kaazib ki hawa mein

dard tha kitna 'muneer'

rail ki seeti baji to

dil lahu se bhar gaya

how much pain there is

in the breeze of the dawn of deceit

hearing the whistle of the train

the heart is filled with blood

2/3: lahu

mere talvon ke lahu se

hogi raushan har jihat

rah-ravaan-e-raah-e-manzil

honge shashdar dekhna

the blood of the soles of my feet,

spreads light in all directions

that followers to the destination,

watch them be amazed

Theme:Miscellany (44)

3/3: lahu

chipak raha hai badan par

lahu se pairaahan

hamaare jaib ko ab

haajat-e-rafu kya hai

my bloodied clothes are

sticking to my body

what is the point of

mending a tear in my pocket

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
