Kuch ajab khel...





Drift away
This is a promise
Of generations

Kuch ajab khel kartar ke
Mor-e-saieen ghareeb banwaaj ke


From the streets we sat across
And the cafes we skipped




Aik ko deen-o-mulk tha janay

Aik bheekari anaaj ke


There is this little Parisian desire...
To sit amidst
Folded hands
And reserved words and looks


Aik ko deen-o-hath main kaasa

Aik pehnaway taaj re


Your promise felt a little easier
When you were around

It came easier.

Milke bhi na milna
Kuch ajab khail kartaar ke






Dard ka silna
More saaieen ghareeb-banwaj ke

Saari raat jo guzaari teri fikar wich
Dil na thaama sahil koi
O te phirta Raanjha koi
O di ajab firaak hoi





Tere naam di umar
Mere sawaalon mein phansi
Tere yaar di fiqar
Mere jawaabon ko chubhi


Through the harsh clouds
And the salty rains
I see your face
And it all makes sense




Aaj latha naeeo
Ankhiyaan da chaar
Tu thodi der hor theher jaa


Say it again
And say it without the wink.




Tu thodi der hor theher jaa


Hold the world at ransom

Tera takna e ankhiyaan ne raar
Tu thodi der hor theher jaa


It is where we started
It is where we stand now

Time moments seconds hours weeks
Gasps of breath
Hollows of nights

Raat na aaye lange maahiya
Paavein mukh jaavaan main
Naave tere laaeeyaan
Ik ik saavaan main

Dhola ik vaari meri man jaa
Tu thodi der hor theher jaa
