1/2: siwa

hayaat ek mustaqqil gham ke siwa

kuch bhi naheen

shaayad khushi bhi yaad aati hai toh

aansoon bankar aati hai

life is nothing

but endless sorrow

even joy, when remembered

returns, perhaps, only as tears

2/2: siwa

duniya ke sitam yaad

na apni hi wafa yaad

ab mujh ko nahin kuchh bhi

mohabbat ke siwa yaad

i remember neither the world’s cruelty

nor my own faithful toiling

i don’t now remember anything

but my love

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)
