na koyi vaada, na koyi yaqeen
na koyi ummeed
magar humein to
tera intezaar karna tha
no promise, no assurance
no hope
yet, i had to
keep waiting for you
Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)
aarzoo hasrat aur
ummeed shikaayat aansu
ek tera zikr tha aur
beech mein kya kya nikla
wishes, desires, and
hopes, complaints, tears
thinking of you
what all have turned out
Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)
kam se kam maut se
aisi mujhe ummeed nahin
zindagi tu ne to dhoke pe
diya hai dhoka
of death, at least,
i don’t expect this
oh life, you have only
cheated me, again and again
Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
koyi ummeed bar nahi aati
koyi soorat nazar nahi aati
maut ka ek din muayyin hai
neend kyun raat bhar nahi aati
no hope comes to pass
no face seen anywhere
death has a fixed day to arrive
why then doesn't sleep come all night
koshish bhi kar
ummeed bhi rakh, raasta bhi chun
phir is ke baad
thoda muqaddar talaash kar
work hard too, keep faith too
find a path too
after all this...
look for a little luck
Theme:Grit, Resilience & Courage (36)
kuch kaTi himmat-e-savaal
mein umr
kuch ummeed-e-javaab
mein guzri
some time in life has gone
in mustering the courage to ask
the rest was spent
in waiting for an answer
