chand shamon ke bhaDakne se
sahar hoti naheen
the spirit of the gathering
demands a total revolution
a few candles lighting up
won't usher in the dawn

kya noor tha ki
shama ko parvaana kar diya
when that evening she came,
unveiled, to the gathering
oh, what a glow,
that turned the flame into a moth

ab toh akele hi
mehfil sajaaye baithe hain
with memories of my beloved
i wait, watching the street
all alone,
i wait, with my home decorated

ik hosh ki saa'at kya kahiye
kuch yaad rahi kuch bhool gaye
when the wine-pourer handed me the cup
when the drinks were flowing freely
what to say of that moment of awareness
some things remembered, some forgotten

sham-e-mehfil se mila
your heart
has met mine…as if
the full moon had shone on
the evening of the gathering

chaand jaise, aye 'qamar',
taaron bhari mehfil mein hain
in the assembly of beautiful ones,
she graces with such presence
like the moon, oh 'qamar',
shines in a star-studded gathering

be-matlab baaton
se achchhi khaamoshi
better than pointless get-togethers
is solitude
better than meaningless talk
is silence

bichhaaya hai qamar ne
chaandni ka farsh mehfil mein
whose radiant, beautiful face
has arrived in this get-together
the moon has spread a carpet
of moonlight in this gathering

tanhaayi mein bhi
apni hi mehfil sajaayi
when I found myself
i found joy even in worldly sorrows
even in solitude
i arranged my own gathering

ke tere marz ka ilaaj
mehfil hai doston ki
feeling my pulse
my doctor smiled and said
the cure for your illness
is a party with friends

hum rahen yuun
tishna-lab paigaam ke
while others in the gathering
are kissing their cups of wine
i remain, lips parched,
for news of you

bujha chaahataa hoon
i am a guest for a few moments
oh, companions of the gathering
i am the lamp at dawn
and i wish to fade away
