Ek baar to muskuraa dijiye,
Pyaarbhari nigahon she to dekh lijiye,
Chehraa jo cchupa lijiye naa,
Ek baar to muskuraa dijiye,
...
Kya yahi pyaar hain,
Log milate hain, bahut karib she leten hain
Aur pyaar karne ke baad mukar jaaten hain,
Kya yahi pyaar hain,
...
In the Theatre of Silence,
Heard I the music of silence
Resonating and resounding,
In The Theatre of Silence
...
The washerman's ass, find I not,
Loitering around,
moving to and fro,
There was a time of busy schedule and hectic activity
...
Across the Mediterranean, lie you sitting,
In a pensive and reflective poise of your own
And here I by this shore,
Hearing the roar
...
While going to school,
Passing through the connect way,
Red soiled and brownish,
I used to meet the sweeper ladies,
...
My love are you,
Are you,
My heart are you,
Are you,
...
Pandit Ravi Shankar, stop you,
Stop you palying the sitar
And say you
Whether a sitar player
...
I could not be a poet,
Even a minor poet
As courtesy, delicacy and morality
Held me back
...
You do not know it,
How much do I like you
And love you?
...
