tum hamaare
kisi tarah na hue
varna duniya mein
kya nahin hota
you were not mine
in any form
else, what couldn't
have happened in this world

thi wasl mein bhi
fikr-e-judaai tamaam shab
vo aaye to bhi neend
na aayi tamaam shab
even in union
the fear of separation all night
when my beloved comes
sleep escapes me all night

kya jaane kya likhaa tha
use izteraab mein
qaasid ki laash aayi
khat ke jawaab mein
in my restlessness
i don’t know what i wrote to her
in reply came
the corpse of the messenger
jab kaha maine ki
tum bedaadgar na-aashnaa
be-mohabbat bewafa
begana-e-ahbab ho
when i told her…
you are unfair, act unfamiliar,
with no love, unfaithful,
a strange friend indeed
