1/2: Ghulam Mohammed Qasir

galiyon ki udaasi poochhti hai

ghar ka sannaaTa kehta hai

is shahr ka har rahne vaala

kyun doosre shahr mein rahta hai

the sadness of the streets asks

the silence of the house says

why do all people of this city

live in some other city

2/2: Ghulam Mohammed Qasir

ye bhi ik rang hai

shaayad meri mehroomi ka

koyi hans de to

mohabbat ka gumaan hota hai

maybe this too is

a shade of my deprivation

that if anyone smiles

it seems to me like love
