❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
हम तो खयाल
रखेँगे अपना…
तुम हमें खयालों
में बनाये रखना…!
I’ll surely take
care of myself…
You just keep me
in your thoughts…
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
सुकून की तलाश
तो हमेशा सब को है….
जिसे तलाश नहीं
वो ही सुकून से है…!
Everyone is in quest
of the eternal peace…
One who isn’t indulged in
search is already relaxed!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
तेरी धड़कनों में
अगर मैं नहीं…
तो यकीं कर…
मै कहीं नहीं…!
If I am not there
in your heartbeats
Then believe me,
I don’t exist anywhere!
❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃ ❃
दोस्तों के नाम का एक ख़त
जेब में रख कर क्या चला
क़रीब से गुज़रने वाले पूछते हैं,
यार, तेरे इत्र का नाम क्या है…!!
When I moved with a letter
with friends names in pocket
Passerby kept asking me,
Dear, what’s the name of the
perfume you’re wearing…!!
