khushi ke jalte suraj ko, sukun ke ujle gumbaj ko
buri nazro ka nigal gaya grahan
asar tha uski sazish me, jo saiyyaron ki gardish me
zahar ki tarah thehar gaya grahan
khushi ke jalte suraj ko, sukun ke ujle gumbaj ko
buri nazro ka nigal gaya grahan
wo aafat hi kuchh aisi thi, ke fitrat deemak jaisi thi
jo til-til karke utar gaya grahan
nazro ke aage dhundh hai, sab darwaaze band hai
jhutha lage har dilasa
haanf rahi awaaz hai, parde ke piche raaz hai
hota nahi kyun khulasa

muskurahat sehmi hai, gham ki gehma ghemi hai
duaye saari nikli ke bewafa
raat katti karwat me, aansu chhupa ke silwat me
subah ki kirne bhi lagti hai khafa
qayamat bhar ke daaman me, kisi ke ghar ke angan me
kehar ki tarah utar gaya grahan
nazro ke aage dhundh hai, sab darwaaze band hai
jhutha lage har dilasa
haanf rahi awaaz hai, parde ke piche raaz hai
hota nahi kyun khulasa

The sun of joy, aflame and bright,
The dome of peace, a radiant light,
Swallowed whole by an evil sight,
An eclipse descended in the night.

His plot took hold, a cosmic twist,
In planetary shifts, a poisoned mist,
An eclipse, a venom kissed,
The sun of joy, cruelly missed.

That calamity, a serpent's bite,
A termite nature, dimming the light,
Piece by piece, vanishing from sight,
An eclipse that devoured the height.

Haze obscures, the doors are sealed,
Each comfort offered, now revealed
As false, the promises concealed,
A whispered plea, the pain unhealed.

A breathless voice, a secret kept,
Behind the veil, where shadows crept,
Why won't the truth be finally wept?

The smile now trembles, fear takes hold,
Sorrow's clamor, a story told,
Prayers offered, betrayed, and cold,
Night's turning tide, a story bold.

Tears concealed in folded skin,
The morning's light, a sin within,
Sunrise seems to punish within.

In judgment's cloak, in someone's home,
In their courtyard, where they roam,
A wrathful eclipse, they now condone.

Haze obscures, the doors are sealed,
Each comfort offered, now revealed
As false, the promises concealed,
A whispered plea, the pain unhealed.
