jab main chalun to
saaya bhi apna na saath de

bas ek jast men
aflaak se nikal jaaun
phalaang jaaun zameen ko
main chaar qadmon se
yes, with one leap
i wish to flee the skies
and, in just four steps
stride across the earth

zindagi jab bhi tere
bazm mein laati hai hamen
yeh zameen chaand se behtar
nazar aati hai hamen
when life brings me to
your gathering
this earth looks to me
more beautiful than the moon

darakht kaT gaya
lekin woh raabte, nasir
tamaam raat parinde
zameen pe baiThe rahe
the tree was cut down, nasir
but such was the bond
all night long, the birds
sat on the ground below
