I can see the bhoktas,
Shiva bhaktas on an outing
During the night time,
Bare-bodied and in dhoti
...
Indian summer
So hot and parching,
So full of perspiration
And perplexing,
...
Under the kaamini tree
Full of kaaminis
Flowering,
Flowering and blooming
...
Under the gulmohar tree
With the blossoms
Hanging by
Even in Chaitra and Baisakh
...
When a boy, I used to see
With love
The trains,
Trains coming,
...
India to the non-resident Indians
Is just like a mirage,
A mirage,
A chimera
...
Is to talk about the minorities,
Minorities, minorities
All the time
Good
...
The snake-charmers' music
Steal
They
The Bombayan
...
Kashmir's Kashmiriyat,
We destroyed it,
Could not understand it
The Kashmiriyat
...
The been music,
Play you,
O charmer,
I want to hear,
...
