Tumhari
Jis pyaar bharee nazar ne
Sahara diya
Who nazar ajnabee na thee.
Na rahee ajnabee tum
us lamhe ke baad
jab tumse nazar milee
kutchh aisa jaadu thaa
us nazar mein
na to shaam ajnabee rahee
..na hee shahar..

the looks
filled with love
that supported me
were no stranger..
neither did you remain
a stranger
after the moment we looked
at each other..

Kutchh
Aisa apnapan
Jaise khud hee apne aap se
Pehchaan ho gayee
Ek aise ajnabee se..
Jiskee pehchaan bhee
 ajnabee na lagtee ho..

there was such magic
in the eyes
neither the evening remained strange
nor the city..

Some such feelings
Of oneness
As if on its own
I know a stranger so well
That.
 'Knowing' itself did not
remain strange..

Lagta hai
Kutchh hee lamhon
pehle kee baat thee..
jab main ek ajnabee shahar mein
ek ajnabee shaam ko.
Ek ajnabee ka mukhhota lagaye
Ghoomta raha .dhoondta raha
Us ajnabee ko.
Jo ajnabee na ho
Jisko pane ke baad
Ajnabee lafz hee
Ajnabee ho jai.

it seems
it was just a moment ago
when
in a strange city
on an evening stranger to me.
I was moving around..
looking around.
for a stranger, who is
 no more stranger to me
after meeting whom
the word 'stranger' may
sound strange to me



Woh  ajnabee
Tum thee..

that stranger was
you...
