Kaif Bhopali

Kaun aayega yahan koi na aaya hoga,
Mera darwaaza hawaon nay hilaaya hoga !

[Who will come here, nobody must have come here,
Winds must have thrown open my door !]

Dil-e-naadan na dhadk ay dil-e-naadan na dhadak,
Koi khat ley kay padosi kay ghar aaya hoga !

[My poor heart, stay calm, my poor heart, stay calm,
Somebody must have come to deliver the letter to my neighbor !]

Gul say lipti hui titli ko gira kar dekho,
Aandhiyaan tumnay darakhton ko giraaya hoga !

[Let us see how you can fly away the butterfly from a flower,
Oh ! Storms, you must have uprooted the trees !]

Kaif pardes mein mat yaad karo apna makaan,
Ab kay baarish nay usay tod giraaya hoga !

['Kaif', don't remember your home while staying overseas,
This season, rains must have demolished that house !]

Kaun aayega yahan koi na aaya hoga,
Mera darwaaza hawaon nay hilaaya hoga !
