Umeed

Hein mere saamney

Saare kache rastey

Kaise kahoun tum se

Sharminda houn mein khud se

Chor aaya mein piche

Sare kache vaadey

Bech aaya mein khud ko

Hasrat ke bazaar mein

Vaqt vapas nahin aata hai

Aitebar bhi kho chuka houn mein

Bas sirf aik akhri khwaish hai

Umeed na hona tum muj mein


--Asad Haider, 2006


Before me there are

Only empty roads

How can I tell you

I’m ashamed of myself

I left behind me

Only empty promises

I sold myself

In the marketplace of emotions

Time won’t come back

I lost my confidence in myself

I just have one request

That you don't lose hope in me


--Asad Haider, 2006
