Ghazals

Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle Bahut nikle mere armaan lekin phir bhi kam nikle

A thousand desires, each worth dying for... many came true, yet I yearned for more

Mujhse pehli si mohabbat mere mehboob na maang Main ne samjha tha ke tu hai to darakhshan hai hayat

Do not ask of me, my love, that love I once had for you... I had thought life shone bright because of you

Ranjish hi sahi dil hi dukhane ke liye aa Aa phir se mujhe chhod ke jaane ke liye aa

Even if in anger, come to break my heart... come once more, if only to leave me again

Dil dhundta hai phir wohi fursat ke raat din Baithe rahen tasavvur-e-jaanan kiye hue

My heart yearns again for those idle days and nights... spent sitting, lost in the imagination of the beloved
