dekha jo aaina to mujhe sochna pada khud se na mil saka to mujhe sochna pada

uska jo khat mila to mujhe sochna pada apna sa woh laga to mujhe sochna pada

mujhko tha yeh gumaan ke mujhi mein hai ik ana dekhi teri ana to mujhe sochna pada

(ana - ego, self)

dunia samjh rahi thi ke naraz mujhse hai lekin woh jab mila to mujhe sochna pada

ik din woh mere aib ginaane laga ‘Farag’ jab khud hi thak gaya to mujhe sochna pada

(aib - fault, vice)

देखा जो आइना तो मुझे सोचना पड़ा खुद से ना मिल सका तो मुझे सोचना पड़ा

उसका जो ख़त मिला तो मुझे सोचना पड़ा अपना सा वो लगा तो मुझे सोचना पड़ा

मुझको था यह गुमान के मुझी में है इक अना देखी तेरी अना तो मुझे सोचना पड़ा

दुनिया समझ रही थी के नाराज़ मुझसे है लेकिन वो जब मिला तो मुझे सोचना पड़ा

इक दिन मेरे वो मेरे ऐब गिनाने लगा ‘फराग’ जब खुद ही थक गया तो मुझे सोचना पड़ा

Please correct the line….. ik din woh mere aib ginaane laga ‘Farag’
jab khud hi thak gaya to mujhe sochna pada….

Its ‘Kharab’ (Bad) not Farag !!

Comment by Sidhu on 2013-01-06 20:19:46 +0530

No. The word is Farag after poet Farag Roohvi’s name.

I was having the misunderstanding that I am the only one with a (big) ego
Then I saw your ego and had to think again

Comment by Sunil Bhatt on 2018-04-25 00:33:06 +0530

Adaab Faraag sahib,
What is intended by the misr:
Duniya samajh rahi naraaz mujh se hai,
Lekin woh jab mila….
