Baki hai

Maujon ka rukna baki hai,

suraj ka theherna baki hai.

Mai ka dhalna baki hai,

Vaiz ka behekna baki hai.

Dars-e-dauraan baki hai

daur-e-hijraan baki hai.

Ilm ka mitna baki hai,

Sajdon ka rukna baki hai.

Baaton ka chhubhna baki hai,

aankhon ka chhalakna baki hai.

Khizaan ka barasna baki hai,

kaanton ka khilna baki hai.

Mera chalna baki hai,

uska aana baki hai.

Jaan se milna baki hai,

jaan ka jaana baki hai.

The Tune

The yester is done,
the circle begins anew

Uncounted blessings and true friends, 
Not just a few,

Glory becomes the rosy dawn, 
Mingles the grass with dew,

Steady the shade of love, 
sometimes shaken, never askew

Death awaits, bides its time, 
Despair and Pain its eager crew,

Tis till then that all is well 
And the heart still beats its lovely tune.

Aaj Bhi Hai

Mile the jaise khwaabon mein hum tum,

ek kasak bedaar aaj bhi hai

Khule jo raaz gesuon ke chandni raat mein,

saanson mein mehak aaj bhi hai

Aaj bhi damakti hai tere vaaste chashme nam,

soona soona ye sehen aaj bhi hai

Yaadon se hi karta hoon apne din roshan,

nazar andhere ki mujh par aaj bhi hai

Mazii mein sahare kab tak dhoondhun,

Aao ki duniya se bair aaj bhi hai

Apni hasti ka jurmana to de diya

Tum se baaki hisaab aaj bhi hai

You burn alone

Measured you comes, controlled you goes,
like the river in winter so deep it slows.

Tread on alive yet inanimate,
masking well the grief you know.

The lips may a few words utter,
eyes, storm windows shuttered.

The feet don't shuffle, the bearing still upright,
tis the other who is uneasy, contrite.

But soon this guilt will turn on you
later all, but first a few,

you'll remind them of the horrors of yesterday,
when new celebrations are in perfect array,

no matter your loss is yours alone,
the hordes will want their clearance zone.

Tear it down this wall of steel,
show them how you really feel,

let there be a raging sea of tears,
the living are but heirs of fears,

Take the torch and burn down the city,
with all those whose eyes have pity.

As it is you burn alone,
long after you've turned to stone.
 

Bauraya Badal

Ab ke, barasne ko bechain badal,
Apni disha kho kar, yahan wahan ghoom raha hai,

Banjar zameenon se,
hariyalion ka pata pooch raha hai
