do ankhiya jhukee jhukee see
do ankhiya jhukee jhukee see
kaliyo se naajuk hontho par kavita rukee rukee see
do ankhiya jhukee
sharmaatee palako me sapane jab aankh michaulee khele
laharaatee julfe mukhade ko saaye me jab le le
ik kushbu udee udee see do ankhiya jhukee

mere dil kee khaamoshee me halchal kaun machaaye
ik dhundhalee see tasvir bane aur banaakar mit jaaye
ik hasarat dabee dabee see do ankhiya jhukee
ek pal lage apanee apanee aur duje pal begaanee
kuchh anjaanee see surat hai kuchh jaanee pahchaanee
paas aakar chhupee chhupee see do ankhiya jhukee

Two eyes, cast down, a gentle plea,
Two eyes, in shy humility.
On lips like buds, where poems cease,
Two eyes, in veiled, soft release.
Dreams in lashes, shy and sweet,
Play hide-and-seek, a gentle feat.
Tresses cascade, a shaded grace,
One fragrance drifts, from that hidden space.
Two eyes, cast down, a tender trace.

In the silence of my heart, who stirs?
A hazy image, then disappears.
One longing hushed, in its secret keep,
Two eyes, their promise, buried deep.
One moment, mine, then swiftly gone,
Another, alien, fading dawn.
A face unknown, yet strangely known,
Near yet concealed, forever flown.
Two eyes, cast down, their secrets steep.
