jag mein aa kar idhar udhar dekha

jag mein aa kar idhar udhar dekha
tu hi aaya nazar jidhar dekha
i came into this world and looked around
you


manifest
in every place
i found
jaan se ho gae badan khali


jis taraf tu ne aankh bhar dekha
of life and spirit
bodies were devoid
a gaze intense


wherever you deployed
nala fariyaad aah aur zari
aap se ho saka so kar dekha
wailing


pleading
lamenting and sighing
the things that i could do / i kept on trying
un labon ne na ki masihai


hum ne sau sau tarah se mar dekha
the role of jesus
those lips did not play
i tried


in hundred ways
myself to slay
zor aashiq-mizaj hai koi
'dard' ko qissa mukhtasar dekha


he's someone who's the deeply ardent sort
the tale of 'dard' is just this simple
short
