Maine sochaa hai ki sab sochte honge shaayad

Pyaas iss tarah bhi kya saanche mein dhal jaati hai

Kya kamii hai jo karogi miraa nazraana qubuul

Chaahne vaale bahut, chaah ke afsaane bahut

Ek hii raat sahii garmii-e-hangaama-e-ishq

Ek hii raat mein jal marte hain parvaane bahut

Phir bhi ik raat mein sau tarah ke morh aate hain

Kaash tum ko kabhi tanhaaii ka ehsaas na ho

Kaash aisaa na ho ghere rahe duniya tum ko

Aur iss tarah ki jis tarah koi paas na ho

Aaj ki raat jo meri hii tarah tanhaa hai

Main kisi tarah guzaarungaa chalaa jaaungaa

Tum pareshaan na ho, baab-e-karam vaa na karo

Aur kuchh deir pukarungaa chalaa jaaungaa

Tribute

Don’t be troubled, don’t open the door of kindness

I will call out to you a while longer, then leave

In that narrow lane where moons are said to grow

I will spend the dark night, then go away

Have I forgotten my way, or is this my destination

I don’t know if I have been brought here or have come on my own

They say even the glances of beauty are beautiful

I too have brought something; I don’t know what

Though I have come away selling whatever I had with me

For some I was rewarded, for some I didn’t even get a fair price

Some I have hidden away for you in my eyes

Take a look, but I shall have no complaints even if you don’t

For one, you are so beautiful; and, so well adorned too

The glance that falls on your face stops and stays there

Even if you smile formally in a gathering

Fragments of the rainbow scatter in many a breast

This delicate form chiselled with hot kisses

Every single flame of which serves to melt a soul

If I have thought of it, everyone else must have too:

Can thirst ever be moulded like this?

What do you lack that you should accept my tribute

There are many who love you and countless their stories of love

Only one night is enough for the heat and passion of love

Many a moth singes and dies in that one night

Yet, a night can entail a hundred twists and turns

May you never experience that sense of loneliness

May the world never crowd around you

Nor that there be no one beside you

The night that is as lonely as I am

I will pass it somehow and leave

Don’t be troubled, don’t open the door of kindness

I will call out to you a while longer, then go away

Pyar ka Jashn

Pyaar ka jashn nai tarah manaanaa hogaa

Gham kisi dil mein sahi ġham ko mitaanaa hogaa

Kaanpte honthon pe paimaan-e-vafaa kyaa kahnaa

Tujh ko laai hai kahaan laġhzish-e-paa kyaa kahnaa

Mere ghar mein tire mukhde ki ziyaa kyaa kahnaa

Aaj har ghar kaa diyaa mujh ko jalaanaa hogaa
