1/4: Brij Narain Chakbast

agar dard-e-mohabbat se

na insaan aashna hota

na kuchh marne ka gham hota

na jeene ka maza hota

if one is not familiar

with the pain of love

he feels neither the sadness

of death nor the joy of life

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)

2/4: Brij Narain Chakbast

peeta hun woh mai

nasha utarta naheen jis ka

khaali naheen hota hai

woh paimaana hai mera

i drink that spirit

whose high never wears off

it never empties

that cup of mine

Theme:Hopes, Aspirations & Dreams (33)

3/4: Brij Narain Chakbast

gunahgaaron mein shaamil hain

gunahon se naheen waaqif

saza ko jaante hain hum

khuda jaane khataa kya hai

we are counted among the sinners

not aware what the sins are

we know what the punishment is

god only knows what the crime is

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

4/4: Brij Narain Chakbast

bulbul ki tarah

shor machaate hain raat din

jo aashna-e-lazzat-e-

dard-e-nihaan nahin

like birds, they

make noise, night and day

those who are not familiar

with the sweet pangs of separation

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)
