soul seller / rooh farOsh

soul seller
'come in, sit, relax,'

been a while
since (i) traded in soul
have almost forgotten
the leaden spread
of orgasmic calm
turned pallid memories

enter a soul
any soul
in life's auction house
let the bidding begin

rooh farOsh
'aao baithO
soostaa lO kuch daire'

muddat guzri hay
rooh faroshi kyay hu'aye
bhool ga'aye goya
woh chainn
woh lut'f e hanghaam
qissa e paarina huaye

aa'aye, koi rooh aa'aye
zindagi kay neelaam ghar maiN
ta banaiN phir
khareedar hum
