kuchh nahin bola to mar jaega andar se 'shujaa'
aur agar bola to phir bahar se mara jaega
if silent I remain I will suffocate inside
and if I speak I will surely be crucified

mat karo shama kun badnam jalati wo nahin
aap sin shauq patangon ko hai jal jaane ka
cast not blame upon the flame it doesnât burn to sear
the moths are

aankhen khulin to jag uThin hasraten tamam
us ko bhi kho diya jise paya tha KHwab mein
as my eyes did ope my yearnings did rebound
for I lost the person who in my dreams I found

aashiqi ho ki bandagi 'faKHir'
be-dili se to ibtida na karo
worship, love whatever be
begin it not half-heartedly

dekhne walo tabassum ko karam mat samjho
unhen to dekhne walon pe hansi aati hai
do not deem her smile to be a sign of grace
she mocks those poor souls who've looked upon her face
