1/11: bhool

utaar phenk de

khush-fahmiyon ke saare ghilaaf

jo shakhs bhool gaya

usko yaad kya rakhna

cast off

the pretense of false delusions

why remember those

who have forgotten you?

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

2/11: bhool

tere siwa bhi kaheen thi panaah

bhool gaye

nikal ke hum teri mehfil se

raah bhool gaye

there was a refuge besides you

but i forgot

coming out of your gathering

i lost my way

Theme:Loneliness, Solitude & Grief (92)

3/11: bhool

rahbar raahzan na ban jaaye

kahin is soch mein

chup khada hoon bhool kar

raaste mein manzil ka pata

hope the guide doesn’t

turn a robber

as i stand alone in the path

forgetting my destination

Theme:Quest, Journey & Destination (44)

4/11: bhool

maloom jo hota hame

anjaam-e-mohabbat

lete na kabhi bhool ke ham

naam-e-mohabbat

had i known the

consequences of love

even by mistake, i wouldn’t have

uttered the name of love

Theme:Love, Passion and Longing (88)

5/11: bhool

jab tere nain

muskuraate hain

zeest ke ranj

bhool jaate hain

when your eyes

do smile

the sorrows of life

i forget for a while

Theme:Life, Living & Dying (104)

6/11: bhool

kisi bewafa ki khaatir

yeh junoon 'faraz' kab tak

jo tumhen bhulaa chuka hai

use tum bhi bhool jaao

for how long this obsession over the

unfaithfulness of someone, ‘faraz’

the one who has forgotten you

you should forget them too

Theme:Friends, Family & Community (108)

7/11: bhool

tum ne kiya na yaad

kabhi bhool kar hamein

hum ne tumhaari yaad mein

sab kuchh bhula diya

even by mistake, you did not

ever think of me

but i have forsaken everything

just lost in your thoughts

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)

8/11: bhool

yuun ‘abroo’ banaave

dil mein hazaar baaten

jab ruu-ba-ruu ho

tere guftaar bhool jaave

what, abroo, you think of

a thousand things to say in your heart

but when face-to-face

you don’t remember anything to say

Theme:Voice, Expression & Language (61)

9/11: bhool

koi aisi dava de,

chaaragar

bhool jaaun main

aashna chehre ko

give me a medicine,

my healer

that let's me forget

my beloved’s face

Theme:Heart, Mind & Memory (58)

10/11: bhool

umr bhar, ghalib,

ye hi bhool karta raha

dhool chehre pe thi

aur aaina saaf karta raha

all through life, ghalib,

kept making the same mistake

the dust was on my face, but

kept cleaning the mirror

Theme:Miscellany (44)

11/11: bhool

aur sab yaad rehta hai

mujh ko…magar

yaad rahta naheen

bhool jaana use

i remember

everything…but

i fail to remember

to forget him
