1/5: Zehra Nigaah

dekhte dekhte

ik ghar ke rahne vaale

apne apne

kaanon mein bat jaate hain

just like that

those living in the same home

become isolated

in their own private spaces

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

2/5: Zehra Nigaah

tum se haasil hua ik

gehre samundar ka sukuut

aur har mauj se

laDna bhi tumhi se seekha

from you i gained

the calm of a deep ocean

and to fight against every wave

i learned from you too

Theme:Grit, Resilience & Courage (36)

3/5: Zehra Nigaah

chhoti si baat pe khush hona

mujhe aata tha

par badi baat pe chup rahna

tumhi se seekha

i figured out myself

to be happy with little things

but to be quiet about big things

i learned from you

Theme:Oppression, Rebellion & Freedom (38)

4/5: Zehra Nigaah

waqt ki aandhi mein bhi

roshni ka diya jalaata raha

mera qalam mera saathi

mera humraaz banta raha

even during the storms of time

i kept lighting the lamp of brightness

my pen remained my friend,

my confidant all through

Theme:Creativity, Philosophy & Enlightenment (30)

5/5: Zehra Nigaah

kahaan ke ishq-o-mohabbat

kidhar ke hijr-o-visaal

abhi to log taraste hain

zindagi ke liye

where this love and passion

where this separation and union

right now, people just

long for life

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)
