tere bagair..

Aaj kuch kami hai tere bagair,
Na rang hai na roshni hai tere bagair,
Waqt apni raftar se chal raha hai,
Bas dhadkan thami hai tere bagair...

kuch to havaa bhii sard thii kuch thaa teraa Khayaal bhii
dil ko Khushii ke saath saath hotaa rahaa malaal bhii
(The air was a bit cold and then, there was your memory
my heart was happy and sad at the same time)
baat vo aadhii raat kii raat thii puure chaaNd kii
chaaNd bhii ain chait kaa, us pe teraa jamaal bhii
(That mid-night, the night of the full moon
that too the moon of the month of March, on top of that your beauty)
sab se nazar bachaa ke vo mujh ko thaa aise dekhtaa
aik dafaa to ruk ga’ii gardish-e-mah-o-saal bhii
(Stealthily, he was seeing me in such a way
that one time even the movement of month and year stopped)
us ko na paa sake the jab dil ka ajiib haal thaa
ab jo palaT ke dekhte baat thii kuch muhaal bhii
(When I could not get him then the heart was pitiful
now, in retrospective, to get him was not easy)
merii talab thaa ek shaKhs vo jo nahiiN milaa to phir
haath du’aa se yuuN giraa bhuul gayaa savaal bhii
(My desire was only one person and when I didn’t get him then
hands fell away from prayer such that I forgot even what I asking)
