~~~...Sarsari nigaah hi bhali hai...~~~


darakht-e-daraar ki si haalat ho chali hai
nacheez ko ek sarsari nigaah hi bhali hai

aab-o-hawa se na hove guzaara ikhlaas
kami dilsoz ik khanakte saaz ki khali hai

'Noor' tu aashnaa, hai tu kaafir mere liye 
na chahke bhi rooh-e-'Viti' yun hi dhali hai

darakht-e-darrar=tree that grows out of a crack in the pavement/wall
ikhlaas=love/selfless worship
dilsoz=touching/passionate
aashna=friend/lover
kaafir=infidel/sweetheart

~~~Aahista, zara aahista 'Noor'...~~~


aahistazara aahista 'Noor'
is aashiq ka kya hai qusoor?

aahistazara aahista 'Noor'
jaan jayegi, hai yeh ghuroor!

aahistazara aahista 'Noor'
duniya ka nahi badla dastoor

aahistazara aahista 'Noor'
'Viti' par chhaya ek hi suroor

aahistazara aahista 'Noor'
jagao na ye khwaish huzoor

aahistazara aahista 'Noor'
na karo yun mujhe majboor

~~~...Main hoti ek taraana...~~~

insaan na hokar 
main hoti ek taraana
tere liye jo likha hota
kisi sayaane shayar ne...


gale se sur bankar shayad
hoothon ko chhua hota...


sureeli aawaaz mein teri 
'Noor,' main goonji hoti...


kaanon mein kisi ke padti
ittefaaqan, to saraahi jaati
aur mehfilon mein bhi
gungunayi jaati kabhi...


baavra sa geet hota woh
mere jaisa hi hota na...


khwaishon se bhara hua
tanha akela bheed mein...


insaan na hokar 
main hoti ek taraana
tere liye jo likha hota
kisi sayaane shayar ne...

~~~...Thodi der panaah de...~~~

mujh baavri ko ab yahan kaun sambhaale
aaja 'Noor' kabhi mujhe tu gale se lagaa le

sadak kinaare padi khwaishein meri, dekh
mohabbat ka meri mujhe kuch to silaa de

sabr ki intehaa to kab ki peeche reh gayii
sukoon bhi kho gaya mera, usse milaa de

tooti si 'Viti,' lekin abhi tamanna hai zinda
kuch der saath chal, thodi der panaah de

~~~...I will follow...~~~

spread out those wings.
knowing you can fly,
why stop now? 
and for whom?


the sky beckons, love.
we can fly together.
or apart.  your call.
i will follow.


chained to the world,
we forget freedom.
what it is like to
feel the wind.


i want to break free.
you helped me,
to remember.
let us leave.


adventuress are waiting,
for us to find them.
a kind of step to
paradises sweet.


fly with me, my Noor!
you want to, i know.
Viti waits there,
where we met.

~~~...Aaogi na?...~~~

kisi roz saanjh ke sang tum aaogi
thoda sa mujhe sataogi, sitamgar,
lekin phir baahon mein sama jaogi...


mujhe yakin hai tum aaogi...


aaogi na?



'Noor' ki meharbani raaten hogi roshan
aatishon se jal uthenge khwaab-e-'Viti' 
bas tum aur main, na koi hogi anjuman...

mujhe yakin hai tum aaogi...

aaogi na?



zulfon ki chaanv mein saawan katega
hoothon par chamakti shabnam hogi
khwaishon ka ruka sa dariya bahega...


mujhe yakin hai tum aaogi...


aaogi na?
