mere hone mein kisi taur se
shaamil ho jaao
tum maseeha naheen hote ho to
qaatil ho jaao
be mine and be present
in some way
if not as my savior
at least as my assassin

seekhe hain mah-rukhon ke liye
ham musavvari
taqreeb kuch to
bahr-e-mulaaqat chaahiye
i learned to paint for the sake of
the moon-faced ones
something is needed
to gain an acquaintance

ranj se khugar hua insaan to
miT jaata hai ranj
mushkilein mujh par padi itni ke
aasaan ho gayee
if a person gets accustomed to grief
then grief disappears
so many difficulties have come upon me
that it has become easy to bear them
Theme:Grit, Resilience & Courage (36)
din to phir din hai
guzar jaati hai
raat kat thi hai
badi mushkil se
day is but a day,
it passes fast
it is the night that
is difficult to bear
