“Aawaara” (‘Vagabond’) – By Asrar-ul Haq ‘Majaz’

Shahr ki raat aur main naashaad-o-naakaara phirooN
Jagmagaati jaagti sadkon pe aawaara phirooN
Ghair ki basti hai, kab tak dar-ba-dar maaraa phirooN
Ai gham-e dil kya karooN, ai vahshat-e dil, kya karooN

Translation:

Night has fallen and, unhappy and defeated
A vagabond, I roam the dazzling, awake streets
In an alien neighborhood, how long should I linger
O desperate, anguished heart, what should I do
