Kuch nahi aisa mere paas
Jaise main keh saku khaas
Pisal jaati hain waqt bhi haaton se mere
Chod ke kai sabdo ke raaz
Kuch samjhe, kuch unsamjhe shabd hain reh gaye saath
Shayad yeh hi de du aaj?
Gathri main band kiye shayad yehi meri amanat hain
Sompta hoon inhe tumko main aaj.
Kabhi kabhi shabd kam pad jaate hain
Kabhi kehne Ko bahut kuch reh jaata hain
Kalam gar mil jaaye toh
Phir likhne ka ek alag hi maza aata hain
Izhaar karne main shayad baat kuch khaas na lage
Par kagaz se padne ka ek alag hi romance hain
I am not looking for fancy words
May be, just a simple sentence will do?
"You are really pretty".
Kyun chode hain panne khaali?
Kyun sookhne di sihai saari?
Kya kuch peeche chod aaye hain?
Ya kuch hain, jise yaad nahi karna chahte?
Shayad izhaar karna bhool gaye hain
Ya khud hi ko bhool chuke hain
Jo aadaten bhool gaye hain
Chalo phir unhain yaad kare
Kagaz aur Kalam ka mail karae
Aur khat likna phir shuru kare
Kush kare bhej ke khat saare
Chalo aaj kuch yaaden taza kare.
Waqt ka mizaj kuch is tarah tha badla
Lahu ka libaaz sabhi ne tha ooda
Haath main talwar aur sar pe kafan
Chal pade kyun karne sitam
Marching onwards they reached the fort
The symbol of sovereignty and of strength
Calling one and calling all, rise against the kafirs
Our king Zafar has bestowed upon us his blessings
Gado main kuon main
Mandiro main masjido main
Khoon se tha sab ko rang diya
Nadiyo ko talabo ko, lahu aur laasho se bhar diya
Helpless and against the tide
The Emperor of India fights
A turmoil within and a reluctant war on the outside
Oh Zafar, stuck between your subjects and your wily allies
Na baccho ko na aurato ko
Loota sabhi ke gharo ko
Gair ho gaye apne hi jahan main
Apna hi makaan main mehfoos na the
Indiscipline and insubordination was they way of life
The haphazardly arranged army had began to strife
Kiiling had began of the the sabhis and their wives.
Bhakt Khan then emerged trying to fight the tide.
Rail gaadi ke dibbe us paar ke aur iss paar ke
Apne ghar se ujde parivaaro se the bhare
Na unho ne socha na inhone, insaniyat ka
Sandesha laayi rail logo ki khabar ban kar
Enemy marching through the walls, the King has fallen
The minister of the king has betrayed his brethren
Plundering and looting was the order of the day
Women became their throphy and men they slay
Bahu betiyon ko saath le gaye utha ke apne
Sard paar yeh ab kisi ke na rahe
Jab jabran inki ghar waapsi hui
Phir sarad paar yeh apno ke beech paraye ho gaye.
Worst off were the women after the killings
Raped and tortured they were devoid of their feelings
Wandering the streets living a mendicants life
They familes refused to take them in for they were now defiled.
Galib too lamented at the state of royalty
Who've always suffered at the hands of victors in war
Sadiyan beet gayi par ab bhi wohi reet hain
Badlav ke naam pe ab bajti nafrat ki been hain.
