kis se ab
aarzoo-e-wasl karen
is kharabe mein
koyi mard kahan
with whom
should i wish to meet
in these wastelands
are there any men left?

3 / 4: Fahmida Riaz
dil mein phir se
wahi dard jaaga
baat puraani hai
ek yaad puraani hai
in the heart, again
the same pain awakens
an old matter
an old memory

tum bilkul ham jaise nikle
ab tak kahaan chhupe thay, bhai
woh murakhta woh ghamaDpan
jis mein hum ne sadi ganwaayi
you turned out just like us, brother
where were you hiding all this while?
that stupidity, that stubbornness
in which we wasted decades
