Uljhan

बस इक झिझक है यही हाल-ए-दिल सुनाने में,

कि तेरा ज़िक्र भी आयेगा इस फ़साने में,

बरस पड़ी थी जो रुख़ से नक़ाब उठाने में,

वो चांदनी है अभी तक मेरे ग़रीब-खाने में,

इसी में इश्क की किस्मत बदल भी सकती थी,

जो वक़्त बीत गया मुझ को आज़माने में,

ये कह के टूट पडा शाख़-ए-गुल से आखिरी फूल,

अब और देर है कितनी बहार आने में ....

~कैफी आज़मी

झिझक = hesitation

ज़िक्र = mention

फ़साना = tale

रुख = Face

नक़ाब = veil

Azaab

Aaye kuchh abr kuchh sharaab aaye
us ke baad aaye jo azaab aaye...

People

In your life you meet people.
Some you never think about again.
Some you wonder what happened to them.
There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you.
And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again ....but you do.

Chhalla

Chhalla vas nahi o mere / The ring, it listens to no one
Chhalla vas meri maan de / The ring, it listens only to my Mother
Ghallegi tan jange / It will leave only if she tells it to
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Khaure keeta kis is ‘te toona / Don’t know who’s cast this spell

Chhalla aa pia khuh ‘te / The ring, it lies on the well
Gallan karie munh ‘te / Let’s talk face to face
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Sanu vekhan nu tera ji ni karda / Don’t you wanna see me sometime
Tainu vekhe bina mera ni sarda / It’s hard for me not to see you

Chhalla bambii da paani / The ring, Earth's water
Kithhey veh gaye ne jaani / Where has my love drifted to
Asaan khabar ko na jaani / I have no news
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Teri beri ik uggeya ey kanda / On your berry has grown a thorn

Chhalla ambian kachian / The ring, unripe mangoes
Mattan de koi sachian / Someone give me sage advices
Laiey lekhe jo bachian / Let’s commit to contemplation
Terian merian gharian / What’s left of time, yours and mine
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Langh javan ain na umran khaali / Or our lives will go waste

Chhalla gut ik lammi / The ring, a long braid
Asan supne si chummi / I kissed it in my dream
Hoi neeyat si anni / The desire had gone blind
Asan dil di si manni / But I listened to my heart
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Hun de lai jehrhi deni ey sazaa / Now punish me as you will

Chhalla boardh ik ‘kalla / The ring, a lone banyan
Unhe fardheya ey palla / He holds on to the
Thalle dharat utte Allah / Earth below and God above
Ve gall sun, chhalleya / Listen my love
Khaure jandian kinni dunghian jarhan / How far run his roots
Es gall da os khud nu nahi pata / He knows not himself

Aarzoo

Nahin nigaah mein manzil to just-a-joo hi sahi,
nahin visaal mein mayassar, to aarzoo hi sahi ...

Naghma

Ambar pe milte hain qadmon ke nishaan tere hi, har shaam...
Khidki pe likh jaata hai koi, os kii boondon se tera naam..
