hum to soche baithe the unka dil mumbai mein hai,
ab lagta hai talaash-e-dil mein bhatakte hain wo.

----------------------------------------------------

To a friend-

I was under the impression his heart is in Mumbai,
now it seems he wanders in search of his heart.

Sochte Hain...

Agar hamne na tujhe dekha hota,
to kya hota, sochte hain.

Agar tune na hamein dekha hota,
to kya hota, sochte hain.

Agar tu na muskuraya hota,
to kya hota, sochte hain.

Agar tune na palkon ko jhukaya hota,
to kya hota, sochte hain.

Agar wo Gulaab hamare hathon se tere hathon mein na aaya hota
to kya hota, sochte hain.

Agar tune mera haath na thaama hota
to kya hota, sochte hain.

Agar tu mera humkadam na bana hota
to kya hota, sochte hain.

Agar tu na rootha hota,
to kya hota, sochte hain.

Agar wo kadam na behka hota,
to kya hota, sochte hain.

Agar maine tujhe manaya hota,
to kya hota, sochte hain.

Ik ranjish ne sukoon ko ghayal kiya,
Agar wo ranjish na hoti,
to kya hota, sochte hain.

Guzaarish karoon bhi main waqt se thamne ki to kya hoga,
main tanhaan yahaan, aur tu mujhse rusva hoga.

khwaish tujhse milne ki is dil mein hai
tu mil gaya to bhi kya hoga

------------------------------------------------------------

Even if I plead with Time to stop,
I'd be alone here and you displeased with me.

There's a wish this heart has - to meet you,
even if we meet what will happen?

urdoo mein arjmand hone ka iraadah tha adib: ka,
kambakht teri muskaan ne zindagi ka idraak badal diya!

----------------------------------------------------------

A learned man lived to be praised by the camp,
Your smile changed his perception of life.

Ashk bahate hain teri yaad mein,
par Darte hain tu inhe dekh na le,
teri muskaan inse zyaada keemti hai,
kahin ye usko dho na dein!

------------------------------------------

I cry in your memory,
but fear you may see the tears.
Your smile is more valuable,
lest, they wash it away.
