subh-e-kaazib ki hawa mein
dard tha kitna 'muneer'
rail ki seeti baji to
dil lahu se bhar gaya
how much pain there is
in the breeze of the dawn of deceit
hearing the whistle of the train
the heart is filled with blood
Theme:Home, Country & Belonging (23)
jaanta hoon ek aise
shakhs ko mein bhi 'muneer'
gham se pathar ho gaya
lekin kabhi roya nahin
i too know of
one such person, ‘muneer’
whom sorrow has turned into a stone
but he never shed a tear
Theme:Grit, Resilience & Courage (36)
ye kaisa nasha hai
main kis ajab khumaar mein huun
tu aa ke jaa bhi chuka hai
main intezaar mein huun
what is this intoxication
what is this strange dizziness
you had come and gone
and i am still waiting
Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
awaaz de ke dekh lo
shaayad woh mil hi jaye
varna ye umr bhar ka safar
raaigaan to hai
call and reach out…maybe
you will get to meet her
else, the life’s journey
would be in vain
Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)
