1/4: qaasid

woh aur vaada wasl ka

qaasid naheen naheen

sach sach bata ye lafz

unhi ki zubaan ke hain

she and the promise of union

o messenger, it is not possible

tell me honestly, if these words

truly flowed from her tongue

2/4: qaasid

qaasid naheen ye kaam tera

apni raah le

us ka payaam dil ke siva

kaun laa sake

oh messenger, this is not your job

please be on your way

the message for her

who can deliver but my heart

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

3/4: qaasid

kya jaane kya likhaa tha

use izteraab mein

qaasid ki laash aayi

khat ke jawaab mein

in my restlessness

i don’t know what i wrote to her

in reply came

the corpse of the messenger

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

4/4: qaasid

qaasid ke aate aate

khat ek aur likh rakhuun

main jaantaa huun

jo vo likhenge jawaab mein

while the messenger returns

i will keep another letter ready

for i know what

she would be writing in reply
