1/6: roz

is aalam-e-veeraan mein

kya anjuman-aaraai

do roz ki mehfil hai

ik umr ki tanhaayi

what festivity is this

in a ruined realm

two days of celebration

a lifetime of loneliness

2/6: roz

duniya bas is se aur zyaada

naheen hai kuchh

kuchh roz hain guzaarne

aur kuchh guzar gaye

there is nothing more

to this world than this

some days to live

and some already gone

3/6: roz

ghalib chhuTi sharaab

par ab bhi kabhi kabhi

peeta hoon

roz-e-abr-o-shab-e-mahtaab mein

ghalib has given up drinking

but, still, once in a while

i enjoy a drink

on cloudy days and moon-filled nights

4/6: roz

roz kahta hun ke

ab unko na dekhoonga kabhi

roz us kooche mein kuch

kaam nikal aata hai

i say every day that

i am never going to see her again

but every day i find i have

some work to do in her street

5/6: roz

koi kya jaane ki hai

roz-e-qayaamat kya cheez

doosra naam hai

meri shab-e-tanhai ka

what does anyone know

about the day of apocalypse

it is another name for

my night of loneliness

6/6: roz

na shab-o-roz hi badle hain

na haal achchha hai

kis barhaman ne kaha tha

ki ye saal achchha hai

days and nights have not changed

nor is the condition any good

which brahmin foretold

this is a good year
