Hamaare darmiyan aaj jo yeh hai doorie
Kya hai faisla tumhara ya koi majboorie?

Meri saanson mein tum aaj bhi samaaye ho
Mujhko shubaha bhi na tha door ho jaaoge chori-chori

Kiwaad hilte hain to lagta hai tum chale aaye
Hansi chhalak aati hai bekayas thodi- thodi

Dil to bus khauf se bejaan hua jata hai
Kya ho jo laut ke na aao kabhi gali meri?

Meri butparasti ka yeh aalam hai ke maine
Sajde wahin kiye jahan dafn hain vade tumhare aur mohabbat meri

Meri khatir tum na aa pao to iska gam nahin
Mere ishk ko khel samjhe -yeh mere nasib ki hai kamtari

Apni barbaadi ka mujhe ranjish nahin
Ranj hai ki tanj kasenge log mohabbat par meri.

Today a wide distance separates you from me. Is it by choice or were you
compelled?

My every breadth still remembers you. I never dreamt that you would go away
-that too- so stealthily.

Whenever the door swings- I hope you have come. The mere thought brings a smile to
my lips.

But slowly my heart is turning to lead. What would happen if you decide
never to come back?

My devotion is so blind that I still worship the ground where my love and
your treachery are put to grave.




If you do not find it fit to come back for my sake- I will not grudge it
against you. Rather I will accept that my love was star-crossed.

I have certainly no grievances on the ground that I am ruined. What I rue is
that people will taunt and laugh at my love.
