1/5: samjhe

hum to samjhe thay ke

chaaron dar muqaffal ho chuke

kya khabar thi

ek darwaaza khula rah jaayega

i thought all

the doors were sealed shut

who knew one

would remain open

2/5: samjhe

arz-e-ahvaal ko

gila samjhe

kya kaha main ne

aap kya samjhe

describing my condition

sounds a complaint to you

i say one thing

you construe something else

3/5: samjhe

duub kar paar

utar gaye hain ham

log samjhe ki

mar gaye hain ham

it is by first diving in and drowning

that i was able to cross the river

and here people are thinking

i was dead

4/5: samjhe

yaa-rab, vo na samjhe hai

na samjhenge meri baat

de aur dil un ko

jo na de mujh ko zabaan aur

oh god, she doesn’t understand me

nor will she ever

either give her another heart

or give me more eloquence

5/5: samjhe

aaina dekh kar

vo ye samjhe

mil gaya

husn-e-bemisaal hamen

looking into the mirror

she said to herself

i have found

an unexampled beauty
