Andaz se Bahar

“dhapa kafan mein dage uyube barahnagi mai, Varnah har libas mei nange vujud thaa ” “No raiment doth hide The nakedness of life It’s only the shroud Which will cloud All signs of my vice .”

“Guncha phir laga khilne , Aaj Kiya hua dekha , gum Kiya hua Paya “ The spring has come again And all around. Again The flowers have taken bloom I too have found my heart Lost and stained with blood.

“Dame har maoj me hai , halqah – e sadkame nihang Dekhe kya guzre hai qatre pe , guhar hone tak .” “For I would be the drop That turns into a pearl But the dangers all around With crocodiles ferocious With open jaws.”

Mujhko dayare gair me mara vatan se dur , rakh li mere khuda neh , meri bekasi ki SharmOh for a death In a foreign land Far from a country

Ima mujhe roke hai, Jo khiche hai mujhe kufr , kabah mere piche hai , kalisa mere aage “ Virtue pulls me From behind But oh For the pull of temptations In front . With the ka’ba Behind me It’s the heresy In front! 威而鋼

Dil hi toh hai, siyasate darba se dar gaya , mai, aor jau dar se tere bin sada kiye” That I should return From your door Without giving a call. But this silly heart Full of fear Of the guard At your door.”
