Kaash

Jo tu mera habeeb hota, to na ye raat tanha hoti

Mere sath chalne wali, kash tu kabhi qareeb hoti

Aisa nahi ki tu nahi hai, mere sath tu yahi hai

Tera dil nahi hai mera, kash bas ye jism ki baat hoti

Paas andheri raat ke bhi, hota hai ek sitara

Teri ummid-e-raushani aise jo mere bhi paas hoti

Jo tu mujhse dil lagati, mere dil mai ghar banati

To barbaad zindagi meri badi hi haseen hoti

1. Habeeb: Friend, dear one

2. Qareeb: Close

3. Ummid-e_raushani: Hope of light

4. Haseen: Beautiful

KHALIPAN

Bojhal aankhein,

Ukhadi saansein,

Khalipan ek seenay mai;

Milkar tujhse laut raha hu,

Kya mushkil hai?

Zehar ab peenay mai.

Baahar raat hai bahut ghaneri,

Aur sannata dil dehlaye;

Dil ka alam kuch kam na jaano,

Is ka rona hai mehshar uthaye.

Pehle bhi bahut ho chuka,

Tera milna, milke bichadna;

Bas bhi karo, aakhir kab tak?

Mujhko hoga yaado mai jalna.

Aaj phir tanha raat kategi,

Chand se baatein karte karte;

Wo bhi tanha, main bhi akela,

Dono hi na jeetay hain, na marte

Bojhal aankhein,

Ukhadi saansein,

Khalipan ek seenay mai;

Sard hawaein,

Tanha jeevan,

Kya hai aisey jeenay mai?

Glossary:

1. Bojhal: Tired

2. Khalipan: emptiness

3. Ghaneri: Dark

4. Mehshar uthaye: destroying the world

Kal Raat

Kal ki shab, shab firaaq ki thi

Wasl ki dua, saari raat kee thi

Karwatein hi badalta raha raat bhar

Tu na thi, bas teri yaad hee thi

Sard hawa, kampaati thi badan ko

Tadap ye tere garm ehsaas ki thi

Shab e intezaar ke baad bhi na aayi

Aisi kya khata maine jaan kee thi

Bistar pe baghal mai jo jagah chodhi thi

Jaan ummid mai wo tere liye hee thi

Haath larazte thai mere raat bhar

Justju to ye tujhe choone ki thi

Tu samajhti hai door thi mujhse

Rooh teri meri baaho mai hee thi

Seenai ki jalan, rooh ki tadap

Bas yahi kahani aaj raat ki thi
