kaari kaari raina saari sau andhere kyun laayi, kyun laayi roshani ke paaon mein ye beRiyaan si kyun aayin, kyun aayin ujiyaare kaise, angaare jaise chhaaon chhaili dhoop maili kyun hain ri

the entirely dark, black night, why has it brought a hundred darknesses with it? why are there these shackles in the feet of light? how are these lights, like embers? why are there shadows, and the sunshine is smeary?

titaliyon ke pankhon par rakh diye gaye patthar aye khuda tu ghum hai kahaan reshami libaason ko cheerate hain kuch khanjar aye khuda tu ghum hai kahaan kya reet chal paRi hai kya aag jal paRi hai kyun cheekhta hai surmayi dhuaan

there are stones kept on the wings of butterflies, where are you, O god? some knives rip apart silk dresses, where are you, O god? what kind of customs are going on, what kind of fire is burning, why does the gray smoke scream?

kaari kaari raina saari sau andhere kyun laayi kyun laayi roshani ke paaon mein ye beRiyaan si kyun aayi kyun aayin ujiyare kaise angaare jaise chaoan chhaili dhoop maili kyun hain ri..
