Is Se Pahale Ke

is se pahale ke bevafaa ho jaaye.n
before that day we become disloyal
kyo.n na ai dost ham judaa ho jaaye.n
why not, my friend, go our separate ways

tuu bhii hiire se ban gayaa patthar
you also turned from a jewel to stone
ham bhii kal kyaa se kyaa ho jaaye.n
i too will change to another tomorrow

Badan Me.n Aag Sii

badan me.n aag sii cheharaa gulaab jaisaaa hai
fire in her body, face like a rose
ke zahar-e-Gam kaa nashaa bhii sharaab jaisaa hai
the pathos of this love is intoxicating

Tuu Paas Bhii

tuu paas bhii ho to dil beqaraar apanaa hai
even when you are close, my heart is restless
ke ham ko teraa nahii.n intazaar apanaa hai
that the wait is not for you, but for me
