na dikhao chalte chalte yun qadam qadam pe shokhii
koi qatl ho raha hai sar-e-aam chupke chupke

( do not bewitch me with your cheerfulness,
as someone is being slayed publicly, slowly slowly )

 kabhi shokhiyan dikhana kabhi un ka muskurana
ye adaaein kar na daalein mera kaam chupke chupke

( cherubicness sometimes, sometimes smile
these charms may kill me, slowly slowly )

 ye jo hichkiyaan musalsal mujhe aa rahi hain Aalam
koi le raha hai shayad mera naam chupke chupke

( O Aalam !! these hiccups which I am getting continuously
someone is calling my name, slowly slowly )*

 woh hata rahe hain pardah sar-e-baam chupke chupke
woh hata rahe hain pardah

( my beloved is removing her veil on the terrace, slowly slowly
my beloved is removing her veil )

* In South Asian society, it is believed that when you get hiccups, someone is remembering you at that time.
