1/3: Zeb Ghauri

adhuri chhod ke tasveer

mar gaya wo 'zeb'

koyi bhi rang mayassar na tha

lahu ke siwa

leaving the painting unfinished

(s)he died, ‘zeb’

no color was affordable

other than blood

2/3: Zeb Ghauri

dil ko sambhaale

hansta bolta rahta hun lekin

sach puucho to 'zeb'

tabeeyat Theek nahin hoti

to pacify the heart

i try and speak smilingly, but

to tell the truth, ‘zeb’,

`don’t feel any better within

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)

3/3: Zeb Ghauri

kis ne sahraa mein mere waaste

rakhi hai ye chaanv

dhoop roke hai

mera chahne wala kaisa

who has provided a shade

for me in this desert

how are my dear ones able to

protect me from this searing heat
