WOH DIN...
THOSE DAYS....

Hum ek hi jaam to peete thhe

woh din  gayey

behke, saqui ki dua ki tarah

 

Hum ek hi rukh se jeete thhe

 woh shaam  dhaley

dard ki akhri dhuan ki tarah

 

Ab tho raahat yeh raha

na din raha, na raat rahi

na main raha, na yaad rahi

 

We used to drink the same wine,

those days too have vanished,

flowing away like my wine-giver's blessings

 

We used to share the same soul

but those evenings have gone,

like the last pangs of pain

 

Now the only consolation is, along with

the day, night and myself, my memories 

have vanished as well
