pa ke ik tera tabassum
muskuraayi kayenaat
jhoom uTTha vo bhi
dil jeene jo bezaar tha
just one smile from you…
the whole world rejoiced
those hearts, weary of living,
sprung to life to celebrate

is seena-e-veeraan mein
khilaaye na kabhi phool
kyon baagh pe itraati rahi
baad-e-saba hai
in this desolate heart
having never bloomed any flowers
why does the fragrant morning breeze
show off in the garden?
jahaan par sarhaden
dair-o-haram ki khatm hoti hain
wahin par noor-e-imaan hai
wahin raah-e-yaqeen nikli
where the borders of
temples and mosques end
radiance of belief shines forth
the road to conviction begins

nikhat wahi suroor wahi
dil-kashi wahi
aamad ye aap ki hai
ke jhonka bahaar ka
the same fragrance, same delight
the same charm and allure
was it your arrival or that of
the gentle breeze of spring
yuun tasavvur men khile gul hain
teri baat ke baad
jaise gulshan mein nikhar jaaye
faza raat ke baad
after you speak
flowers bloom in my imagination
just as the garden brightens
after the night has passed
