1/2: Aanis Moin

tha intezaar

maanaenge mil ke diwali

na tum hi laut ke aaye

na waqt-e-shaam hua

was waiting

to celebrate diwali together

neither did you return

nor is it time yet for the celebration

2/2: Aanis Moin

andar ki duniya se

rabt badhao ‘aanis’

baahar khulne vaali

khidki band padi hai

build a closer bond

with the world within, aanis,

to the world outside

the window is closed shut
