**********************************************************************
Ab kay hum bichday to shaayad kabhi khawabon may miley,
Jis tarah sookhay huey phool kitabon mein miley !

[Now that we are parting our ways, may be we will meet in dreams,
Like dry flowers are found in books !]

Tu khuda hai na mera ishq farishton jaisa,
Dono insaan hain to kyon itnay hijaabon mein miley !

[Neither you are God nor is my love like angel,
If we both are human beings, then why do we meet with such modesty !]

Ab na woh main hoon na tu hain na woh maazi hai `Faraaz',
Jaisay do saayey tamana kay sehraon mein miley !

[Now it neither me, nor you, nor that past 'Faraaz',
It is like two shadows meeting in desert of wishes !]

Ab kay hum bichday to shaayad kabhi khawabon may miley,
Jis tarah sookhay huey phool kitabon mein miley !
