"Dard rukta nahin ek pal bhi
ishq ki yeh sazaa mil rahi hai.
Maut se pehle hi mar gaye hum
chot nazaron ki aisi lagi hai."
it is only when you look at me
that i realise what it means
to love and never possess,
to admire and never be proud,
to have a lover who can never be a wife.
just like the moon
never looks at the sun,
i shall never
be able to
look at you.
