****************************************************************
Apnay chehray say jo zahir hai, chupain kaisay,
Teri marzi kay mutaabik nazar aaain kaisay !

[Whatever is apparent from my face, how can I hide that,
How would I appear the way you want me to be !]

Ghar sajanay ka tassavur to bahut baad ka hai,
Pehlay yeh tay ho ki is gahr ko bachain kaisay !

[Even thinking about decorating the home is premature,
First let it be decided, how to save this home !]

Kah-kahan aankh ki bartav badal deta hai,
Hasnay vaalay tujhay aansoon nazar aaain kaisay !

[Laughter changes the view of the eyes,
Oh ! Laughing_person, how could you see the tears !]

Koi apni hi nazar say to hamay dekhayga,
Ek qatray ko samundar nazar aaain kaisay !

[One will look at me from his own viewpoint,
How can one drop view an ocean !]

Apnay chehray say jo zahir hai, chupain kaisay,
Teri marzi kay mutaabik nazar aaain kaisay !
