The archetype of the hero who is basically a gentle person, not exactly the type who would take on the whole world is what came through in his songs.
Andhe jahan ke andhe raaste
jaayen tho jaayen kahan
It's a feeling of helpfulness, a feeling that falling in love is in some way the road to pain, but let me enjoy it while it lasts
Dil-e-nadan se hua kya hai
Somehow i've ever felt that talat is the voice i would hear on one of those lonely evenings, hitting the bottle with the rain lashing ouside.
Phir wohi shaam wohi tanhaai hai
And when the lonliness became too much to bear, it would have to be
Shaam-e-gham ki kasam
aaj ghamjee hain hum
aa bhi jaa, aa bhi ja
mere sanam
sham-e-gham ki kasam
And as night draws and the pain intensifies,
Raat ne kya kya khwaab dikhaye
rang bhare sau jaal bichaaye
