KASHMAKASH
DILEMMA

Jab chaand se rukhsaar pe
When on a face like the moon
manzar ho udaasi ka
gloom is all over

 Nargisi aankhon mein kahin
in the jasmine eyes somewhere
chund katre shabnam ke
a few dew drops spread

 Kyonkar mere lub larazte hain
Why do my lips tremble
ek bekali si hoti hai
and there is restlessness in me

Hosh kuchh bahak se jaate hain
My senses go haywire
is aalam -e - badhawaasi mein
in this moment of confusion

 Gham to sirf mere liye hai mahshar mein
Sorrows are only for me in the surroundings
mere hi liye afshaan yahan veerane hai
for me are the lonesome places made

 Meri tanhaaiyon ki to parwah nahin mukho
I dont care for my solitude
dar to lagta hai mujhe aaj teri mehfil se
what I am scared of is your get together.
