❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
तेरे ख्याल से खुद को
छुपाकर भी देखा है,
दिल-ओ-नजर को भी
रुला कर के देखा है…
तेरी कसम, गर तू नहीं
तो कुछ भी नहीं,
मैंने कुछ पल तुझे
भुला कर भी देखा है…
I’ve tried myself hiding
from your thoughts,
I have even made the
eyes and the heart cry…
I have even tried forgetting
you for few moments…
I swear, there is nothing
if you are not there…!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
गर मैं लब हूँ, तो
तुम मेरी बात हो,
मेरा वज़ूद भी तब है,
जब तुम मेरे साथ हो…
If I am lips, then
You’re my words,
My existence is only,
when you are with me…
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
ख़्वाब में भी देर तलक
जागा किए हम…
नींद ख़ुद भी एक किरदार थी
हमारी उस नींद में…
Remained awake till
late even in the dream
Sleep itself was a
character in that sleep…
