Nishan

In khayalon ko kyon rakha hai dil ke karib?

Gham kabhi na tha tera nasib

Na sunna un ke sawalon ko

Girne ab na dena, apne aap ko


Akhri baar ponch lo in ansoun ko

Mita do bhula do in biti yaadon ko

Chore do purani daastan

Mita do, dil pe jo hein nishan


--Asad Haider, 2006



Why have you kept these thoughts,

so close to your heart?

I never thought you’d see such sorrow

Don’t listen to their questions

Don’t let yourself fall down…


Wipe these tears one last time

Forget these ephemeral memories

Let go of the fate written for you

Wipe those marks off your heart


--Asad Haider, 2006
