had se Takraati hai jo shai
woh palaTti hai zaroor

koyi bhi ghar mein samajhta na tha

ishq ka zauq-e-nazaara
muft mein hai badnaam
husn khud betaab hai
jalwa dikhaane ke liye
love gets a bad rap needlessly
for the pleasure of watching
though beauty herself is impatient
for her splendor to be seen

ye roshni tere kamre
mein khud nahi aayi
shama ka jism pighalne

your room all by itself
it has come after burning
the body of a candle
