Apni Dhun Mein Rehta Hoon
Main Bhi Tere Jaisa Hoon

Roaming within my own tunes I am
O’ just like you I am


Oh Pichhlee Rut Ke Saathi
Abke Baras Main Tanha Hoon

O’ friend of the past season
This year completely alone I am


Teri Gali Mein Sara Din
Dukh Ke Kankar Chunta Hoon

Whole day, in your street
Collecting the pebbles of sorrows I am


Mera Diya Jalaye Kuan
Main Tera Khali Kamra Hoon

Who will set my lamp alight?
O’ your vacated room I am


Apni Leher Hai Apna Rog
Dariya Hoon Aur Pyasaa Hoon

My own wave is the malady
Ocean I am and yet so thirsty I am


Aati Rut Mujhe Royegi
Jaati Rut Ka Jhonka Hoon*

Coming season will weep for me
O’ breeze of the ending season I am

Ye gam unka dia hua tohfa hai
Jo hum apne ankhon se ansk bahaye firte hain
Ye gam unka dia hua tohfa hai
Jo hum apne dil me chupaaye rkhte hain
Ye gam unka dia hua tohfa hai
Jo hum khud ko unki bewafai ki aag me jalaye rhte hain
Ye gam unka dia hua tohfa hai
Jo hum khud ko baarish me bheegaye firte hain
Ye gam unka dia hua tohfa hai
Jo hum khud ko iss begaani duniya me lootaye firte hain
DIWALI MUBARAK ** HAR EK KO

D.. Deep jalaye shraddha ka aaj;

I.. Iski jyot se, roshan kare sara samaaj; aur charo aur prem pasare.

W.. Wada kare, neki ki aur pyar ki rah pe chale, hardum.

A.. Aakar de ek aise jahan ko, jaha pyar hi pyar **, shraddha aur swabhimaan **.

L.. Lau sada jalti rahe har dil mein, shraddha, sacchai aur prem ki.

I..India ka, hamare desh ka, naam roshan kare, desh ka har baccha.

Tathastu.
