inquilaab ek khwaab hai
so hai
dil ki duniya kharaab hai
so hai
revolution is just a dream
and so it is
the world's heart is horrible
and so it is

main ne har baar tujhse milte waqt
tujhse milne ki aarzoo ki hai
tere jaane ke baad bhi main ne
teri khushbu se guftagu ki hai
whenever i met you
i yearned to meet you again
even after you left, i spoke
with your lingering fragrance

hum ko yaaron ne
yaad bhi na rakha

a dear friend of theirs

'jaun' duniya ki

what is dear to your heart

aaj bahut din baad
main apne kamre tak aa nikla tha
juun hi darvaaza khola hai
us ki khushbu aayi hai
after many days
i came to my room
just as i opened the door
fragrance of my beloved came out

kaise kahen ki tujh ko bhi
humse hai vaasta koyi

until this day, you have not
once found fault with me

haasil-e-kun hai
yeh jahaan-e-kharaab
yeh hi mumkin tha
itni ujlat me
the result of creation
is this ruined world
this was all that was possible
in such haste

in your defense

dareecha baaz hai yaadon ka
aur main
hawa sunta huun
peDon ki zubaan se
the window of my memories

i hear the breeze through
the language of the trees

choosing myself
