Kya Andhera

Qaidkhane Me Sakina Ka Tha Noha Aye Phuphi

In the prison, this was Sakina's lament, oh aunt.

Ek Shama Mangwaiye Ke Ho Ujala Aye Phuphi

Please ask for a candle so there may be some light, oh aunt.

God Me Apni Chupalo Dil Dhadakta Hai Mera Har Ghadi Lagta Hai Jaise Shimr Fir Se Aa Gaya Paas Se Mere Nahi Jaana Khudara Aye Phuphi

Hide me in your lap, my heart is pounding. Every moment it feels as if Shimr has returned. Do not leave my side, for God's sake, oh aunt.

Khauf Aata Hai Phuphi Din Ke Ujaale Me Yaha Wehshate Hi Wehshate Hai Qaidkhane Me Yaha Ek Pal Lagta Nahi Hai Dil Hamara Aye Phuphi

I feel fear, oh aunt, even in the daylight here. There is nothing but terror in this prison. My heart does not settle for even a moment, oh aunt.

Ab Kaha Baba Ka Seena Chayn Ki Raate Kaha Ab Kaha Wo Din Rahe Wo Pyaar Ki Baate Kaha Aayenge Kab Laut Ke Wo Din Dubara Aye Phuphi

Where is my father's chest now? Where are those peaceful nights? Where are those days gone? Where are those loving conversations? When will those days return again, oh aunt?

Haa Abhi Kuch Der Pehle Mujko Neend Aayi To Thi Chand Lamho Baad Firse Aankh Meri Khul Gayi Yu Laga Jaise Ho Baba Ne Pukara Aye Phuphi

Yes, just a little while ago I had fallen asleep, But after a few moments, my eyes opened again. It felt as if my father had called out to me, oh aunt.

Aaye Baba To Sunau Mai Sitam Ki Daastaan Mai Dikhaaungi Rasan Ke Aur Tamacho Ke Nishan Sun Nahi Paayenge Baba Haal Saara Aye Phuphi

If my father comes, I will tell him the tale of our suffering. I will show him the marks of the ropes and the slaps. My father will not be able to bear hearing the whole story, oh aunt.
