kyo daren zindagi mein kya hoga
kuch na hoga to tazurba hoga
hansti aankho mein jhaank kar dekho
koi aansoo kahi chhupa hoga

in dino na-ummeed sa hu main
shayad usne bhi ye suna hoga
dekhkar tumko sochta hu main
kya kisi ne tumhen chhua hoga

Why fear what life may bring?
Should all else fail, experience will sing.
Gaze deep within those laughing eyes,
A hidden tear, where sorrow lies.

These days, I'm steeped in fading hope,
Perhaps she too, the same words spoke.
To see your form, my thoughts take flight,
Did anyone ever touch your light?
