The eye of time has witnessed countless spectacles,  
Every joy bound to wounds, a profound connection tangible.  

Dreams extinguished in silence, unseen by all,  
Desires crumbling as wishes at their side would fall.  

Time played its games in the theater of existence,  
Love defeated, while hatred found persistence.  

Hearts became desolate in mere moments,  
Helplessness weeping at the doorstep of life's torments.  

The eye of time could never grasp this mystery,  
Why behind every smile lurks sorrow's misery.  

Yet this heart, for centuries, has asked again,  
Why does darkness follow when light remains?

Kisi nazar mein kashish aisi, ke dil thehar jaye  
Chahne wale ka har zakhm, khud sanwar jaye  

Yeh jo lams hai tera, yeh jadoo ka raaz sa  
Dil ki veeran galiyon mein roshni bhar jaye  

Teri baaton ka asar dil pe utarta aisa  
Har khayal, har dua tujh pe hi thehar jaye  

Yeh mohabbat hai ya koi khwab ka dhoka  
Jo bhi mile, wohi khwahish ban ke bikhar jaye  

Meri har saans mein, tere wujood ka ehsaas  
Mere dil ka har dukh, tere qadam par mar jaye  

Kisi nazar mein kashish aisi, ke sab bhool jayein  
Dil ke har goshe mein tu hi tu thehar jaye

— The End —
