tu jo aa jaye to is ghar ko sanwarta dekhun
ek muddat se jo veeran hai use basta dekhun

khawab bankar tu barasta rahe shabnam shabnam
aur bas main isi mausam ko nikharta dekhun

jise milna hi nahin us se muhabbat kaisi
sochta jaun magar dil me utarta dekhun

dil gaya tha to ye aankhen bhi koi le jaata
min faqat ek hi tasweer kahan tak dekhun

chand lamhe jo tere Ishq ke mil jaate hain
in hi lamhon ko mai sadiyon mein badalta dekhu

If you were to arrive, I'd watch this home bloom,
A desert of years, now a blossoming room.

Like dew, you descend, a dream in the night,
And I, in this season, watch everything bright.

To love one who's lost, a meeting denied,
I ponder, yet still, within my heart, you reside.

When my heart fled, why did they spare my eyes?
How long can I gaze at a single disguise?

The briefest of moments, your love's gentle flame,
I'd wish them to stretch, through the ages to claim.
