- The "Gulzar"
Na-kamyab mohabbat nahi hoti , usko pane ki koshish hoti hai
ek kamyab insaan se suniye uski na-kamyab koshisho ki kahani – uske geeto aur shero ki zubani

Der se goonjte hain sannate
Jaise hum ko pukarta hai koi

Shaam se aankh mea nami (moisture) si hai
Aaj phir aap ki kami si hai

Tumhare khwab se har shab lipat ke sote hain

Ek hi khwab ne saari raat jagaya hai
Mae ne har karvat sone ki koshish ki

Jab bhi ye dil udaas hota hai
Jaane kaun ass-pass hota hai
————————————
Sehma sehma dara sa rehta hai
Jaane kyuun ji bhara sa rahta hai

Zindagi par bhi koi zor nahin
Dil ne har cheez paraye di hai

Ye shukr hai ki mere paas tera ghum to raha
Vagarna (Varna) zindagi bhar ko rula diya hota
———————————–
Khamooshi ka hasil bhi ik lambi si khamooshi thi
un ki baat suni bhi hum ne apni baat sunaye bhi
Go (though) barasti nahin sada ankhen
Abr (cloud) to baara maas (12 months) hota hai
———————————–
Ek sannata dabe-panv gaya ho jaise
Dil se ik khauf sa guzra hai bichhad jaane ka
———————————–
Bhare hain raat ke reze (particles) kuchh aise ankhon mea
Ujala ho to hum ankhen jhapakte rahte hain

Raat guzarte shayad thoda waqt lage

Yuun bhi ik baar to hota ki samundar behta
Koi ehsaas to dariya ki ana (self respect) ka hota
———————————–
Chulhe (Gas stove) nahin jalaye ki basti hi jal gaye
Kuchh roz ho gaye hain ab uthta nahin dhuan
————————————

Kaash khushboo ki tarah rang heena (mehdi) ka hota
———————————–
Nakhuda ( one who is controlling boat) dekh raha hai ki main girdab ( whirlpool / bawander) mea huun
Aur jo pul (bridge) pe khade log hain akhbar se hain
