Poet: Rajendra Krishan

“Murjha chuka hain dil bhi, Yeh dil phool hi to hain
Ab aapki khushi ise, Kaaton mein toliye
Khud dil se dil ki baat kahi, Aur ro liye
Yun hasraton ke daag, Muhobbat mein dho liye”

Roughly translated…
Wilted as it is, my heart is still a delicate flower
I leave it to you whether you treat it as a flower or a thorn
Had a heart to heart with my own heart; and tears rolled away
The stains of my own desires… I washed them out with my love.
