who knows...could become a song
for those in love tomorrow

ye woh afsaana hai jo
bekahe mashhoor hota hai
how much ever they hide love
none can really hide it
this is a story, unspoken,
becomes well-known

jism se kis tarah mohabbat?
taair ko qafas se bhi
kahin ho hai mohabbat?
can the spirit truly
fall in love with the body?
can a bird ever feel
love for its own prison?

naam agar chahte ho
himmat-e-mardaana karo

shaayad meri mehroomi ka
koyi hans de to
mohabbat ka gumaan hota hai
maybe this too is
a shade of my deprivation
that if anyone smiles
