2 / 6: Aslam Habeeb
bilak raha hai nigaahon mein
hasraton ka hujuum
laTak rahi hain patangen
udaas khambon se
my eyes hold
a throng of longings
kites hang from poles
sad and weary

3 / 6: Aslam Habeeb
bas ek jast men
aflaak se nikal jaaun
phalaang jaaun zameen ko
main chaar qadmon se
yes, with one leap
i wish to flee the skies
and, in just four steps
stride across the earth

naye sire se chalo
koyi ahd karte hain
wafaa jafaa ka
puraana hisaab rahne do
let us start anew
let us make new vows
leave the old accounts
of faith and betrayal alone

haadse hai ke
log rahte hain
apne hi ghar mein
ajnabi ki tarah
the tragedy is that
people stay
in their own homes
as strangers
