Yeh Kaisi subah hai
Ek taraf khushiyon ki lad hai
Tho dusri taraf gam-bhari ki yaadein
Ek taraf ummeed hi ummeed aane wale kal ki
Tho dusri wahi nirasha beete huye kal se
Saras said(on loc videos) that he can compress his hatred inside him but is hard to forgive.
Usually the day after is very beautiful. But for him, even on this day happiness n sadness are coming in pairs.
this an edited version of the famous urdu poet Ahmad Faraz ghazal,Santhi
the works of such renouned poets have many connotations/layerings ..n the beauty is they seem to fit in every ascept of life
my humble interpretation is
in the first, the junoon of the journey ahead has made the traveller lose his way back home
in the second couplet , he has been injured intentionally by the cruel words of someone he calls his saviour
in the third , he could sleep only when the poison in his heart poured out of his eyes as tears
and lastly he says Majno whom the world now proclaims as an example ,was once a lover like him who left his home in search of love
