What He Calls Heart
The thing he calls heart
Man’s for long lost beyond trace
For lifelong to part.
What heaves in his hollow case
Keeps him alive, runs dead cart.

Poet’s note: Translation, from my collection of lyricist Gulzar’s short shires.
Woh cheez jise Dil kahate hain¸
Ham bhul gaye hain Rakh kar kahin
