Madanpal

Jab naam tera pyaar say likhti hain ungaliyaan,
Meri taraf zamanay ki uthti hain ungaliyaan !

[When these fingers of mine write your name with love,
Whole world's fingers point towards me !]

Daaman sanam ka haath mein aayaa tha ek pal,
Din raat us hi pal say mehkati hain ungaliyaan !

[For a moment, my beloved's skirt had come into contact with these fingers,
And since then, these fingers smell so good due to that one moment !]

Jis din say door ho gayey, us din say hi sanam,
Bas din tumharay aanay kay ginti hain ungaliyaan !

[My Love, from the day you left,
These fingers just count the days when you will return !]

Pathar tarash kar na bana Taj ik naya,
Fankaar ki jahaan mein kat-ti hain ungaliyaan !

[Please don't build a new Taj by cutting the stone,
Sculptor's fingers are chopped off in this world !]

Jab naam tera pyaar say likhti ungaliyaan,
Meri taraf zamanay ki uthti hain ungaliyaan !
