1-aap kī maḳhmūr āñkhoñ kī qasam
merī mai-ḳhvārī abhī tak raaz hai
**
I swear upon thy eyes, so intoxicated
Am being a drunkard is yet secreted
********
2- chhup ga.e vo saaz-e-hastī chheḌ kar
ab to bas āvāz hī āvāz hai
**
After playing with life’s rhythm, she vanished
There’s now only sound that’s left
****************
3- dafn kar saktā huuñ siine meñ tumhāre raaz ko
aur tum chāho to afsāna banā saktā huuñ main
**
I can veil thy secret if you wish it to be
I can make it public if thou wish it to be
*************
4-tire māthe pe ye āñchal to bahut hī ḳhuub hai lekin
tū is āñchal se ik parcham banā letī to achchhā thā
**
The veil on thy forehead looks very striking
If you made flag; it would look more striking
**************
5- tumhīñ to ho jise kahtī hai nāḳhudā duniyā
bachā sako to bachā lo ki Dūbtā huuñ main
**
You are the one prominent as a boatsman
Save me if you can, as I’m drowning man
*************
6- vaqt kī sa.ī-e-musalsal kārgar hotī ga.ī
zindagī lahza-ba-lahza muḳhtasar hotī ga.ī
**
Time ceaselessly achieved its non-stop effort
Life became shorter by every passing minute
**
7- yā to kisī ko jur.at-e-dīdār hī na ho
yā phir mirī nigāh se dekhā kare koī
**
Either no one dares to have a glance at her
Or, one ought to have my vision to see her
***********
8- ye aanā koī aanā hai ki bas rasman chale aa.e
ye milnā ḳhaak milnā hai ki dil se dil nahīñ miltā
**
This ceremonial arrival is no coming at all
Such reunion’s void if no heart beats at all
***************
9- ye mere ishq kī majbūriyāñ ma.aaz-allāh
tumhārā raaz tumhīñ se chhupā rahā huuñ maiñ
**
God forbid my helplessness in matters of love
Covering you up! Secret of thy affair of love

Rainy Season
Posted November 18, 2017
on:Remembering you in rainy season
Is my all time habit of rainy season!
Thinking to change habit in this rainy season
But downpour won’t stop by changing habits
To remember you, to miss you in rainy season
Is akin to breathing life
Breathing is verve and a sign of life
