*************************************************************
Dosti jab kisi say ki jaayey,
Dushmano ki bhi raay lee jayey !
[Whenever one wants to be friends with someone,
One should consult one's foes too !]
Maut ka zahar hai fizaon mein,
Ab kahan ja kay saans lee jayey !
[Poison of death is in the atmosphere,
Where should I now go to breath !]
Bas isee saunch mein hoon dooba hua,
Yeh nadi kaisay paar kee jayey !
[I am deep in this thought-process,
How should I cross this stream !]
Meray maazi kay zakhm barnay lagay,
Aaj phir koi bhool kee jayey !
[Wounds of my past have started healing,
Let me once again make a mistake today !]
Botlay khol kay to pee barson,
Aaj dil khol kay bee pee jayey !
[I have drunk by opening the bottles for years,
Let me drink today by opening my heart !]
Dosti jab kisi say ki jaayey,
Dushmano ki bhi raay lee jayey !
- Rahat Indoree
