Ek ajnabee haseena se …

(Ek Ajnabi Hasina Se Yun Mulaaqat Ho Gayi
Ek Ajnabi Hasina Se Yun Mulaaqat Ho Gayi
Phir Kya Hua Yeh Na Puchho Kuch Aisi Baat Ho Gayi)

A beautiful stranger I met
Our eyes locked, a meeting so set
What happened next, don’t inquire
Something happened, set our hearts on fire

(Wo Achanak Aa Gayi Yun Nazar Ke Saamne
Jaise Nikal Aaya Ghata Se Chaand
Chehre Pe Zulfen Bikhri Hui Thi
Din Mein Raat Ho Gayi)

Her unexpected arrival caught me off guard,
A moonlit apparition in a world so marred,
Her tousled hair and luminous gaze,
Turned my ordinary day into a dazzling blaze.

(Jane Man Jane Jigar Hota Mai Shayar Agar
Kehta Gazal Tere He Adaon Par
Maine Ye Kaha To Mujse Khafa Wo
Jaane Hayaat Ho Gayi)

As a poet’s heart and soul, I’d weave
Verses of love and wit to believe
But when I bared my heart’s true flame
She turned and left, my life was never the same

(Ek Ajnabi Hasina Se Yun Mulaaqat Ho Gayi
Ek Ajnabi Hasina Se Yun Mulaaqat Ho Gayi
Phir Kya Hua Yeh Na Puchho Kuch Aisi Baat Ho Gayi)

A beautiful stranger I met
Our eyes locked, a meeting so set
What happened next, don’t inquire
Something happened, set our hearts on fire
