❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
तितली सी फितरत है मेरी
रंग मेरे ज़ेहन में बसते हैं
बिना वजह खुश हो लेती हूँ
मस्त मौला रस्ते हैं मेरे …!
I have the nature of butterfly
Myriad colours reside in me
Always happy without reason
Carefree living is way of life!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
खड़ी हूँ मैं ये कहाँ
जाने कौन सा मुक़ाम है…
ऐ मौला! तू दे रहा ये
जाने क्या पैग़ाम है…
Not aware where am I now
and, which is this sojourn…
O, Lord! Knoweth not what
missive are you giving…!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
लवाक़ सी बात पर अक़्सर
बिखर जाया करते हैं रिश्ते
लाख कोशिश कर लो फिर
भी नहीं निखर पाते हैं रिश्ते
Relations often disintegrate
on slightest of ego clash
Try even a million times
They never flourish as before
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
किसी और से क्या रब्त बढ़ाऊँ
आजकल रिश्ता है सिर्फ खुदा से
जब से वास्ता जुड़ा है रब से
दोस्त भी लगते हैं जुदा-जुदा से
What to bond with someone
Nowadays it’s only with God
Since this relationship grew
Friends also look strangers
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
रब्त का मैं शिकवा कर बैठा
हाय कितना अकेला था मैं…
ग़ुरूर को अपने जब मिटा दिया
संग-संग साथियों का मेला था!
Kept complaining of company
Alas! How lonely was I afore
Moment I wiped out conceit
Had big gathering of friends
