soul on fire
this is all that is needed

mera chahne wala kaisa
who has provided a shade
for me in this desert
how are my dear ones able to
protect me from this searing heat

us ko bhi bahattar kyun
ghilman na diya hota
it is possible you are in hell
and your wife is in heaven
why doesn’t she also get
72 handsome young men?

that passes through

my doctor smiled and said

teri rahbari ka savaal hai
don’t talk about irrelevant stuff
first tell us how the caravan got looted
i have no complaint against the robbers
i have questions about your leadership

aansu ki jagah
aankh se hasrat nikal aaye
if there is just one desire of the heart
maybe...it's just this
instead of tears
dreams flow from my eyes

yeh saamaan nikla
some pictures of my idols
a few letters from beautifuls
after my death, these are what
turned out in my home

it is very near, muztar,

apne haathon se us ne meri qabr pe
chaadar-e-gul chaDaayi maza aa gaya
oh ‘fana’, am glad on this day of death
she came to respect and honor my love
with her own hands she spread flowers
on my graveyard…’twas so thrilling
