A beautiful ghazal penned by Daag and Ameer Minayee, with simple, yet thought provoking ideas in each couplets
tumne badle humse gin-gin ke liye
humne kya chaaha tha is din ke liye
You took your revenge, counting every wrongdoing
What had I wanted, for such a day to come
wasl ka din aur itna mukhtasar
din gine jaate the is din ke liye
It was the day of meeting, but it was so brief
Days would be counted, waiting for this day
wo nahin sunte hamari kya karen
maangte hain hum dua jinke liye
She doesn’t listen to my appeals, what to do
The one who is in all my invocations
chaahne waalo se gar matlab nahin
aap phir paida hua kinke liye
If you have nothing to do with your loved ones,
For whom then, were you born (in the first place)
baarabaan kaliyan ho halqe rang ki
bhejnee hai ek kamsin ke liye
The flowers are to be of a soft shade of colour
They are to be sent to a young girl
