Poetic Me

(I recognise your footsteps from far far away


Dear Life, I can recognize you from far away)

Tabiyat Apani Ghabarati Hai Jab Sun-Saan Raton Mein


Hum Aise Men Teri Yadon Ki Chaadar Taan Lete Hain


(When I am restless during lonely nights


so I tuck myself under the blanket of your memories)

Meri Nazarein Bhi Aise Qaafiro Ka Jaan-O-Imaan Hai


Nigahein Milte Hi Jo Jaan Aur Imaan Lete Hain


(My gaze often shifts towards people who are infidel or ungrateful


As soon as our eyes meet, they take away my life and faith)

'Firaq' Aksar Badal Kar Bhes Milta Hai Koi Qaafir


Kabhi Hum Jaan Lete Hain Kabhi Pehchaan Lete Hain


(Some ungrateful person often disguises and I meet me


Sometime I realise...and sometimes I recognize)

ilte Rahe Sabhi Se Magar Ajnabee Rahe
(I have not change myself and I am, who I was
I keep meeting all people but remain stranger)

Duniya Na Jeet Pao Toh Haaro Na Khud Ko Tum,
Thodi Bahut Toh Zehan Main Narazgi Rahe
(If you won't able to win the world don't loose yourself
Lets have some anger in the mind)

Apni Tarah Sabhi Ko Kisi Ki Talaash Thi,
Hum Jiske Bhi Kareeb Rahe Door Hi Rahe
(Everyone was in search for someone like them
And I was distant to whoever was close to me)

Guzro Jo Bagh Se Toh Dua Mangte Chalo,
Jisme Khile Hain Phool Woh Dali Hari Rahe

(If you walk by a garden please do this pray
The branch will remain green which has flowers
