bujhte bujhte ek zamaanaa lagtaa hai बुझते बुझते एक ज़माना लगता है

aag kaa kyaa hai pal do pal mein lagtii hai
bujhte bujhte ek zamaanaa lagtaa hai

आग का क्या है पल दो पल में लगती है
बुझते बुझते एक ज़माना लगता है

The flame takes a moment to flare up
It takes eons to put out that flame

ज़माने में कभी भी क़िस्मतें बदला नहीं करतीं

The election season is right around the corner and with the monsoon well on its way, it will soon rain promises. And assurances. Old hopes will be rekindled, new hopes will arise. Reminded me of this beautiful couplet by Kaif Bhopali
 
ज़माने में कभी भी क़िस्मतें बदला नहीं करतीं
उमीदों से भरोसों से दिलासों से सहारों से
 
zamaane me.n kabhi bhi qismate.n badalaa nahee.n karatee.n
umeedo.n se bharoso.n se dilaaso.n se sahaaro.n se
 
In this world, it is rare that fates of people change
because of hopes, assurances, consolations and assistance

वो फ़लाने से, फ़लाने से, फ़लाने से मिले

हम तरसते ही, तरसते ही, तरसते ही रहे
वो फ़लाने से, फ़लाने से, फ़लाने से मिले

ham taraste hii, taraste hii, taraste hii rahe
vo falaane se, falaane se, falaane se mile

I yearned, and yearned, and yearned some more for her
She met every Tom, Dick and Harry, over and over
