Dil mein terii yaad liye phirtaa huun
Zakhmon ki baaraat liye phirtaa huun

Dekh ke zindaa mujhe hairaan kyuun ho
Ek dil-e-barbaad liye phirtaa huun

Un se mulaakaat abhii bhii hogii
Be-wajah ye aas liye phirtaa huun

Pyaar mein dil-o-jaan lutaa dete hain
Ye ajab se khayaalaat liye phirtaa huun

Meri haalat pe aansuu bahaate kyon ho
Aiye zamaane terii saugaat liye phirtaa huun

Ye sher mere aakhirii afsaane hain
In hii mein dil ki aawaaz liye phirtaa huun

Agale janam mein hogii mulaakaat Khalish
Is baat ka vishwaas liye phirtaa huun

-- MC Gupta `Khalish'

Translation

MEETING IN NEXT LIFE

With memories, I carry on
With wounds in heart, I carry on.

Why surprised on seeing me alive
With heart a wreck, I carry on.

I may one day yet meet my Love
With this hope distant carry on

In love one parts with heart and life,
With such odd thoughts I carry on

Why cry for me, my fate, O friends,
With these your gifts, I carry on

Last page of life are couplets these
With these heart's wails I carry on

I'll meet my Love in the life next
With faith, Khalish, I carry on.
