1/6: Abdul Hamid Adam

aye gham-e-zindagi

na ho naaraaz

mujh ko aadat hai

muskuraane ki

oh sorrow of life

don’t be angry

it is my habit

to smile

dekha hai kis nigaah se

tu ne sitam-zarif

mahsoos ho raha hai

main gharq-e-sharaab hun

the way you threw your

glance at me, you tyrant

makes me feel like i am

drowning in wine

Theme:Beauty, Charm & Union (84)

saaqi, sharaab laa ki

mutrib, rubaab uTha ki

tabiiyat udaas hai

o saaqi, please bring some wine

the mood is melancholic

o musician, pick up the rubaab

the mood is melancholic

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

bheeD tanhaaiyon

ka mela hai

aadmi aadmi

a crowd is just

a bazaar of solitudes

each person

is all alone

woh mile bhi to

ek jhijhak si rahi

kaash thoDi si

hum peeye hote

even when we met

a hesitation remained

if only i had been

drinking a little

6/6: Abdul Hamid Adam

takhleeq-e-kayenaat ke

dilchasp jurm par

hansta to hoga aap bhi

yazdaan...kabhi kabhi

on the fascinating crime of

the creation of the universe

you too, oh god, must be

laughing...once in a while
