kaam rafu ka nikla

but in your heart,
a lot of mending was found

jab kisi shahr mein
kuchh yaar puraane se mile
received a new wound
and found a new life
when in the new city
found some old friends

kya khabar thi ki
rag-e-jaan mein utar jaaega
i imagined it a simple wound
that would heal soon
who knew it would
sink into the vein of life?

ye log kyon mere
zakhm-e-jigar ko dekhte hain
may no evil eye fall
on her hands and arms
why do these people
keep gazing at my heart’s wounds

dard bechaara pareshaan hai
kahaan se nikle
not just a wound or two
the whole body is torn
poor pain is troubled
as to where to emerge from

na-aashnaa-e-zakhm hai

placed his hand on my heart
he is kind, but he is
not familiar with my ailment

jo zakhm mile tum ko
phoolon ki qabaa kehna
call it the fragrance of henna
call it a gentle breeze
whatever wound you get in life
call it a robe of roses

zakhm khaaye hain
people walk along,
surviving the thorns
but here i am,
wounded by flowers

use kuchh zakhm kya
dikhla diye hain
he considers himself
a savior
just because some wounds
were shown to him

jo ajnabi mila
wahi apna laga mujhe
wounded by my loved ones
when i left the city
the strangers i met
felt like my own
