Bhashir Badr - Ghazal 1
uska bhi kuchh haq hai aakhir
usne mujhse nafarat ki hai
ultimately she also has a right over me
since she has hated me so
jaise sadiyan beet chuki hon
phir bhi aadhi raat abhi hai
it seems like ages have passed
and yet still half a night has to pass
kaise kategi tanha tanha
itni sari umr pari hai
how will it pass in such loneliness
this long, long life still before me
ham donon ki khoob nibhegi
mein bhi dukhi hoon voh bhi dukhi hai
we both will be very happy together
because i am also sad and she is also sad
ab gham se kiya naata toren
zalim bachpan ka sathi hai
why to break my relation with sorrow
it has always been my companion since childhood
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Bashir Badr - Ghazal 2
kisne ne mujhko sada di bata kaun hai
ai hawa tere ghar mein chhupa kaun hai
who called me tell me who it is
o wind who hides in your abode
baarishon mein kisi ped ko dekhana
shaal odhhe hue bhigata kaun hai
look at any tree when it rains
covered with shawl who is getting wet
khushbooyon mein nahayi huyi shaakh par
phool sa muskarata kaun hai
on the branch drenched with fragrance
like a smiling flower who is that one
dil ko patthar huye zamana hua
is makan mein magar bolta kaun hai
the heart turned into a stone long ago
but who speaks in this dwelling now
tum bhi majboor ho ham bhi malboor hein
bewafa kaun hai bawafa kaun hai
you are choiceless, i am also choiceless
who is disloyal, who is loyal

Bashir Badr -Ghazal 3
mohabbaton mein dikhawe ki dosti na mila
agar gale nahin milta to haath bhi na mila
do not mix false friendship and affection
if you can't embrace me, do not shake hands with me either
ghar pe naam the naamon ke saath audhe the
bahut taalaash kiya koyi aadmi na mila
houses had names names were with titles
i searched a lot but failed to find a human being
tamaam rishton ko mein ghar mein chhor aaya tha
phir iske baad mujhe koyi ajnabi na mila
i had left behind at home all relationships
after that i did not find anyone a stranger
khuda ki itni bari qayenaat mein maine
bas aik shakhs ko maanga mujhe wahi na mila
in god's whole big world
i asked for only one person, i could not get her even
