na saath dengi
ye dam toDtee huyi shamein
naye charaag jalaao ki
raushni kam hai
these dying lamps
will not stay with us for long
light new ones
as brightness is fading

3 / 3: Shahid Siddiqui
ek pal ke rukne se
duur ho gayee manzil
sirf hum nahin chalte
raaste bhi chalte hain
when we stopped for a moment
the destination receded away
it isn't just us that's moving
the paths are moving too
