tongue tied ii

ii

yeh dekh ker woh shOkh boli
kaisii hay yeh tishnagi
hum kiya kahaiN oos shOkh ko
shabistaanoun kay bhanwar
se najat pa'ain tou bolaiN


seeing this, the cute one said
i don't understand this anguish
if i escape this whirlpool
of the transient night's
prison of perplexity
only then submerged
words will breathe
                  again
