phir mujhe chhod gaye chaaraagaraan
Fragment by fragment,tattered, frayed- the robe of my life,
And the doctor(?) has forsaken me, I’m left all alone
1
koyi aahat, na ishaara, na sraab
kaisa viraan hai ye, dasht-e-imkaan
Not a sound, neither any clue nor a lead,
How endless/desolate is it, this forest of possibility !
2
chaar-suu khaaq udaati hai hawa
astaraan, kaabaataraan, reg-e-ravaan
The howling wind scatters dust in all four directions,
Lashing at the slithering sands from every nook and angle in its fury!!
3
vaqt ke sog mein lamhon ka juluus
jaise ik qaafilaa-e-nauhaa,garaan
In this time of mourning, a funeral march of endless moments
Like a caravan of weeping mourners marching silently!
4
Marg-e-umeed kay viraan shab-o-roz
Mausam-e-dehar bahar aur na khizaan
As hope breathed its last, despondent night and morn,
Seasons of earth: neither bright spring nor autumn both melancholy!
5
kaise ghabaraaye huye phirate hain
tere mohataaj tere dil-gazadaan
How haunted, fearful and fretful, trudging along,
Beholden only to thee - heart in misery!
