"We cry not because love is over.
But because, though it is over, it still lingers."
रंग-ओ-राज़ के थे लम्हे, जब महफूज़ थे हम
मोहब्बत के खयालों में।
बेबस, बेखुदी थी, जब मिला तौफ़ा-ए-ग़म
बे अश्फ़ाक़ आशिकी में ।
बदल गया आलम, गुमनाम बनके रहगए है हम
वक्त के सितम में ।
हाल हमारा आजकल बेउल्फ़त बेज़बान सी हैं
मगर बेज़ार नहीं ज़िन्दगी से,
यादें बीते लम्हों के जैसे शहद के छत्ते
न छेड़ना कभी गलती से ।
न तड़पता है दिल हमारा अब बनके सहरा
आपके एक झलक के वास्ते,
फ़िर भी न जाने क्यों आते है आप कभी कभी
हमारे ख्वाबों के किनारे ?
मन ही मन कांपते है हम, कही फ़िर न बरसे
दरिया-ए-दिल पे अश्कों के अंगारे !
(Moments colorful and secretive, when I was safe
Lost in thoughts of love.
Helpless was passion when I received the gift of pain
In love devoid of kindness.
World has changed, now I live almost anonymous,
In the tyranny of time.
These days I am more in silence, more in solitude,
But not in regret with life.
Memories of moments past, are like beehives,
Never to irk even by mistake.
No more does my life yearn as if like a desert,
To catch a glimpse of you.
Yet I know not why at times you pay a visit
To the banks of my dreams.
Trembling within, I am afraid if again will rain
On the river of heart, flames of tears.)
