❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
इश्क था इसलिए
सिर्फ तुझसे किया,
फरेब होता तो
सबसे किया होता…
It was love, that’s why
Just did it with you only ,
If it was a fraud, then would
have done it with everyone!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
मेरे दिल से निकलने का
रास्ता भी ना ढूंढ पाये वो…
और कहते थे कि तेरी
रग-रग से वाकिफ हैं हम…
Could not even find a way
To come out of my heart…
Who used to claim to be
Knowing me inside out…
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
गिरते रहे सजदों में हम
अपनी ही हसरतों की ख़ातिर
इश्क़ ए ख़ुदा में गिरे होते तो
कोई हसरत ही बाक़ी ना रहती..
Kept on falling in prostration
For the sake of own desires
Had only fallen in love of God
No desires would ever be left
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
पैर में कांटा क्या चुभा,
ये तस्सली सी बंध गई
कि इस अनजान गली में,
ज़रूर कोई गुलाब होगा…
With a prick of thorn in foot,
it was more of tranquil relief
That, of course, in this street,
There must be living a rose..!
