Ghar (Ghazal)

I have built this house slowly-slowly

The wings of dreams opened slowly-slowly

 

I didn't knock anyone down or leaped myself up

The journey of life passed slowly-slowly

 

Where you reached by leaps and bounds

I reached there too, but slowly-slowly

 

The mountains were no challenge

I kept raising my head calmly slowly-slowly

 

I fell somewhere so cried but alone

The wound healed through pain slowly-slowly

 

Neither laughing nor crying, I never poured into anyone

Drank my own poison slowly-slowly

 

I left with the soil of my field

A city grew in it slowly-slowly

 

O world, what have I not received?

If your love is received slowly-slowly
