kis liye be-qaraar hain aankhen
kis ke gham mein shumaar hain aankhen
aap hain dil kii baat karte hain
aap par jaan-nisaar hain aankhen
kitne maasoom maar dale hain
kitni karti shikaar hain aankhen
ladkhadaate hain dekhne waale
uski itni khumaar hain aankhen
jab se dekha hai uski aankhon ko
zehn-o-dil par sawaar hain aankhen
ye dard-e-be-dawa hai aur main hoon
magar ye dil-kusha hai aur main hoon
museebat aur lambi zindagaani
buzurgon kii dua hai aur main hoon
dayaar-e-ishq mein hoon aur labon par
tera hi tazkira hai aur main hoon
muqaddar ne nigaahen fer li hain
dukhon ka silsila hai aur main hoon
udhar to naam tera chal raha hai
idhar zikr-e-wafa hai aur main hoon
ghazal likhne chala furqat pe apni
radif-o-qaafiya hai aur main hoon
sunaau ehtishaam apni kahaani
yahan bas aaina hai aur main hoon
raah-e-amn mein akshar khaaiyaan banaate hain
pyaar karne waalon mein dooriyaan banaate hain
aao ham gale milkar maat den siyaasat ko
jo bhi faasle apne darmiyaan banaate hain
zaalimon bhala kaise tum hamein ujaadoge
ham to vo hain jo dil mein bastiyaan banaate hain
haq bayaan karne se ham kabhi nahin darte
gaur se ye sun len jo bediyaan banaate hain
pur-sukoon hote hain khoo se tar-b-tar karke
hamko qatl kar ke vo surkhiyaan banaate hain
unko ye khabar kar do sach ka paasbaan hai rab
jo charaagh kii khaatir aandhiyaan banaate hain
door rahte dekha hai ilm unke bachchon se
muddaton se walid jo takhtiyan banaate hain
fazl-e-rab se hi unka raasta nahin rukta
doosron kii khaatir jo seedhiyaan banaate hain
Takta hoon tum ko, yeh dil behak jata hai
Tumhare jalwe mein jahan tham sa jata hai
Tumhari aankhon ki gehraayi mein doob jata hoon
Tumhari muskaan pe har dard bhool jata hoon
Tum chalti ho to hawa gungunane lagti hai
Tum bolti ho to khamoshi bhi jagti hai
Yeh dil tumhare lamss ki tamanna liye
Har lamha teri qurbat ki dua kiye
Magar tum door ho, yeh faasle kyun hain?
Yeh faaslon mein bhi mohabbat ke geet kyun hain?
Takta hoon tum ko, aur jeeta hoon tum mein
Tumhare khwabon mein, aur haqeeqat ke gum mein
It's disgraceful, the way you call it love,
The look you give me when It's not my face you hope to look at.
Petals, you name them after me, scatter them on the ground.
Be honest, was it my name, do you know for a fact?
These sonnets you write for me,
Never was I the muse.
Perhaps you just like sonnets too much.
Perhaps someone else was your prose.
It's disgraceful, the way you call it love.
People don't have a heart anymore, once they give it away,
Is that why my gift was an empty box?
Yeh ishq ki tauheen hai,
Hum iss tarah na dekha karo.
Jo phool humare naam nahi kar sakte,
Hum par is tarah faika na karo.
Agar yeh lafz likhte nhi humare liye,
To aise muft mein mushayra na karo,
Yeh ishq ki tauheen hai,
Kisi aur ka dil humein diya na karo.
Every moment became beautiful
Darkness turned to light,
Thorns become flowers
the air smelled
It started raining love
I started flying
Today his answer has come.
heart is humming,
singing love songs,
He is seen in everything
The beat went crazy,
Today his answer has come.
love blossomed,
I started walking on the path of love
started sleeping,
something started to happen,
Today his answer has come
