Rabia Basri

Us ke junoon ke rang main mere lahuu ka rang tha,
Uss ke dil main bhi zangg tha mere bhi dil main zang tha,

Kuch woh sahii* na ban saka kuch main ghani* na ho saki,
Kuch us ka dil bhi tang tha kuch mera dil bhi tang tha,

Kuch zeezt bekhudi pe thi kuch ishq kaj’rawi pe tha,
Kuch us ko bhi na dhang* tha kuch mujh ko bhi na dhang tha,

Mohabto! gawaah raho kuch nahin tha raah main,
Faqat saamney hamarey anaa ka aik sang tha..

(sahii;person with a big heart, ghani:person with a big heart, dhang:technique, way)

Aansuyon se woh zair-e-aab* aaye,
Jin ki raahon mein phir chanaab aaye,

Kal to socha tha bhool jaaon gi,
Aaj tum yaad be-hisaab aaye..

(zair-e-aab;drown)
