qaid, aazadi aur rehaii
life, love, living a trapeze act
praying freedom, plotting escape

pump's timorous 'n tenuous links
of ensconced hopes 'n cascading dreams

a circus -- clouds, rocks, phoenix
and sajda

kaun samjhay ga aur samjha'aye ga humaiN
her sajda ish'q ki inteha hota nahiN
poocho hum say janay kitnay sajday hum
mujboori maiN kyay chalay jaatay haiN

choices abound -- ideas, ideals, idols
a medley in whirlpool of half baked clay

joos'tu'joo -- qaid, aazaadi ya rehaii
yeh kaisay mausam milay her moR per
kay ser oothanay ki naubat hee na aaee
