intezar / waiting

chalo bohat huya

ab ek ek kar

in sitaron ko

aur is chand ko rukhsat karoon

raat jo ye baithi hai kohni tikaye

isko boloon ghar jaye apne

aaj tera aana nahi hoga

aaj neend nahi ayegi in ankhon mein


okay, its enough now

let me say goodbye

to this moon

and these stars, one by one

this night sitting with elbows resting

let me tell her to go home

as, you won't be coming

and, there won't be any sleep in these eyes
