nayaa aasmaan haath lagaa

once we dared to move,
a new sky came within our grasp

main ne jis haath ko chooma
vahi khanjar nikla

turned out to be a dagger

muskuraa dete hain bachche

dost hota nahin
har haath milaane waala
you mistake a gesture of formality
for sincere affection, 'faraz'
not every one who shakes your hand
is a friend
