Na aa.nsu bahane, na hasne ke kaam aayi,
zindagi na jeene, na marnei ke kaam aayi...

Ulfat ke sitaare, chamakte rahe raat bhar,
her subah, her shaam, her shab mai tanhayee...

Khatawar bana ke chhoda, bas khata thi itni,
mehboob ke ghar bhul aaye, hum apni parchayee...

Bewafai ke aaNchal mai, lipta mujhe iskadar,
behoshi mai bhi nazar aayi, hur taraf rusvayee...

Neither to cry, nor to laugh,
life was of no use, even to death...

The problematic stars  were twinkling till late at night,
every morning, every evening, every night was lonely...

I was made criminal, and my only crime was.. that,
I had left my shadow at the home of my beloved...

I was enveloped by betrayal .. that,
even  unconsciously I found notoriety everywhere...
