zara si der mein

agar yahi hai nizaam-e-hasti
to zindagi ko salaam apna
no gathering my own, no wine-pourer mine
no flask my own, no wine glass either
if this is the order of existence
oh life, to you my regards

dastaar gir pade
what harm is there
in bowing respectfully, but
don’t bend so much
that your hat falls off
