1/4: Zafar Iqbal

yahaan kisi ko bhi kuchh

hasb-e-aarzoo na mila

kisi ko hum na mile

aur hum ko tu na mila

here, no one got

as per their desires

someone didn't get me

and, i didn't get you

Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)

2/4: Zafar Iqbal

jazbe ki kaDi dhoop ho to

kya nahin mumkin

ye kis ne kaha

sang pighalta hi nahin hai

if the heat of passion is intense

what is not possible

who said that

the rock doesn't melt?

Theme:Grit, Resilience & Courage (36)

3/4: Zafar Iqbal

muskurate hue milta hun

kise se jo, ‘zafar’

saaf pehchan liya jata hun

roya hua main

i get acquainted with others

with a smile, ‘zafar’

but i get to know them clearly

only when i am weeping

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

4/4: Zafar Iqbal

thakna bhi laazmi tha

kuch kaam karte karte

kuch aur thak gaya hoon

aaraam karte karte

it was essential to get tired

while doing some work

i was even more exhausted

while resting

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
