Zara sa qatra kahin aaj agar ubharta hai

zara sa qatra kahin aaj agar ubharta hai
samundaron hi ke lahje mein baat karta hai

now ever if a trifling droplet happens to appear
like the mighty oceans its head it seeks to rear

khuli chhaton ke diye kab ke bujh gae hote
koi to hai jo hawaon ke par katarta hai

the lamps on open terraces would long have been erased
the might of winds someone is who manages to shear

sharafaton ki yahan koi ahmiyat hi nahin
kisi ka kuchh na bigaDo to kaun Darta hai

decency has little value it does not get respect
Until harm is caused to them people do not fear

ye dekhna hai ki sahra bhi hai samundar bhi
wo meri tishna-labi kis ke nam karta hai

….
….

tum aa gae ho to kuchh chandni si baaten hon
zamin pe chand kahan roz roz utarta hai

how often does the moon condescend to come to earth
let us talk of love and joy now that you are here

zamin ki kaisi wakalat ho phir nahin chalti
jab aasman se koi faisla utarta hai

however you defend the earth it is of no avail
when a judgement is imposed from the heavens clear
