magar teri mohabbat ka
taqaaza kuchh aur
i hold a few pearl-like
words in my lap
but the demands of your love
are something else entirely

2 / 2: moti
dariyaa se ye moti nikla tha
dariyaa hi mein ja kar Doob gaya
heart was loyal to its desire
anxious, went to see its beloved
the pearl came out of the river
but drowned in the river itself
