ab ke ham bichha.de to shaayad kabhii khvaabo.n me.n mile.n
jis tarah suukhe hue phuul kitaabo.n me.n mile.n

If now these feelings we cover, perhaps in dreams shall we meet
As dried flowers are chanced upon pressed softly in books

Teri Bataain Hi Sunanay Aa'e

afaraz1_small.jpg
teri bataain hi sunanay aa'e
dost bhi dil hi dokhanay aa'e

just to narrate your stories did i come
just to wound my heart did you, my friend, come
phool khilte hein tu hum sochtae hein
teray aanay ke zamaanay aa'e

when flowers bloom, I find myself thinking
the season of your arrival has come

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

fire in her body, face like a rose

the pathos of this love is intoxicating

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
