angana bole kaag re
khel nahi gir gir ke sambhalna
chanda ghunghat mein apne chipaye
tera man kahi dole
tu dil ka kehna maan

dilli ki galiyo mein
hai nain wahi jab tum hi nahi
kisi deepak ki dhun mein
bechara jalta hai
koi meri duniya pe chaya

The courtyard whispers to the crow,
This dance is not a fall, but rise.
The moon, in veils of night, hides low,
While your heart wanders, untied.
Obey the whispers of your core.

In Delhi's echoing lanes,
Eyes search, yet find no you.
A lonely lamp sustains,
Burning in a mournful hue.
A shadow falls upon my sphere.
