Theme: A little moment captured in time
Title: Badal (Clouds)
Yun chalte chalte jab nazar upar uthi
Ek alag hi duniya mujhko dikhi
Vipreet aur vibhinn, swachch aur nirmal
Neela ambar tha ya nadi ka sheetal jal
Chote bade badal yahan wahan failey huye
Neele farsh par jaise rui ke gole rengte huye
Niraakaar, nirbadh, shwet aur shuddh
Drushya aisa ke kho jaaye sudh budh
Aise mein kshitij par dekha kala dhuan
Achanak vaastavikta ka abhaas hua
Wah re insaan, tu kitna ooncha utha
Dharti to maili ho chuki, ab aasmaan bhi kala hua
Translation:
While walking when I looked up
I saw a different world
Contrast and varied, clean and pure
It's the blue sky or the river's cool water
Small and big clouds spread here and there
As if cotton balls are rolling on the blue floor
Shapeless, loose, white and clean
A scene that would make you lose your presence of mind
Then I saw a black smoke at the horizon
Suddenly realized the reality
Wow O human, how high you've risen
The Earth is already dirty, the sky too is now black
