teri bataain hi sunanay aa'e By Ahmad Faraz

teri bataain hi sunanay aa'edost bhi dil hi dokhanay aa'ejust to narrate your stories did i comejust to woud my heart did you, my friend, come
phool khilte hein tu hum sochtae heinteray aanay ke zamaanay aa'ewhen flowers bloom, i find myself thinkingthe season of your arrival has come
aisi kuch chup si lagi hai jaisehum tujhe haal sunanay aa'eso quiet and shy do i find myself as ifto show you my soul have i come
ishq tunha hai sir-e munzil-e ghumkaun yeh boojH uthanay aa'elove is lonely without the sadness of lovewho to bear this burden will come
ajnabi dost humein dekh keh humkuch tujhe yaad dilaanay aa'estranger, after you perceived me a friend, ito remind you a little of things did come
dil dharakta hai safr ke hungaamkaash phir koi bulanay aa'estarting this journey, my heart beats wildly wishing someone to call me back will come
ab tu rounay se bhi dil dukhta haishaid ab hosh thikanay aa'enow even weeping saddens my heartperhaps my wits back to me have finally come
kya kahein phir koi busti ujrilaug kyooN jashun mananay aa'ewhat to say, some home must be undonewhy else would people to celebrate come
so raho maut ke pahloo mein Faraznind kis waqt na janay aa'estay close in this lap of death, Farazwho knows when sleep your way will come
