1/3: muskuraa

daanista ham ne apne

sabhi gham chhupaa liye

poocha kisi ne haal

to bas muskuraa diye

deliberately, knowingly

i hid all my sorrows

when someone asked how i was

i just smiled

2/3: muskuraa

key woh aisa muskuraaye

hum hosh gawa baithe

abhi hum hosh mein aane waale the

woh phir muskuraa baithe

she smiled in such a way

i lost my consciousness

as i was about to gain my senses

she smiled again

3/3: muskuraa

shaam ko jis waqt khaalee haath

ghar jaataa huun main

muskuraa dete hain bachche

aur mar jaataa huun main

at the end of the day

when i return home, empty-handed

my kids make me smile

and i die a little inside
