Saari khushiyon se ajnabi hokar, ek tere gham se roshanas rahe,

Aaj jee hai ke tujh ko yaad kare, aur phir dair tak udaas rahe.

— Arslan Abbaas

[maihonhassan]

آج صدمے بلا کے تھے ، ورنہ

Aaj sadme bala ke thay, warna

دِل کی عادت نہیں کہ آہ کرے!

Dil ki adat nahi ke aah kare!

— Arslan Abbas

[maihonhassan]

"Agar hum bhoolna chahe"

Agar hum bhoolna chahe, tou tum ko bhool sakte hain

Haan, yaksar bhool sakte hain, sarasar bhool sakte hain

Magar yai baat tou tab hai, agar hum bhoolna chahe.

- Arslan Abbas

[maihonhassan]

When Arslan Abbas wrote this couplet:

Pehle shauq rakhte thay qurbatein barhaane ka,

Ab tou jis se milte hain faasilon se milte hain

We all felt that!

[maihonhassan]

Sometimes, you just can't hold it inside:

"Aaj sadmay balaa ke thay, warna dil ki adat nahin ke aaah kare."

- Arslan Abbas

[maihonhassan]

When Arslan Abbas Said:

"Dil chahta hai ke uski taraf lout jaye hum, lekin wo shakhs ek dafa awaaz tou dey."

[maihonhassan]

"How strange it is."

کبھی وہ شخص تھا، ہم تھے، اور اتنی باتیں تھیں

اور اب وہ شخص ہے، ہم ہیں، اور اک خاموشی ہے

There was a time when that person existed, we were there, and there were so many conversations. And now that person exists, we are here, and there is a silence."

[maihonhassan]

Tum kabhi shaam k baad ka manzar dekho

Aankh k surkh kinaaron pe samundar dekho

Kitne ghamgeen hain, bahir se ye hansne wale

Waqt pao tou kabhi jhaank k andar dekho

— Arslan Abbas
