apne hriday ko
aganit bhagon mein vibhakt kar
inki seepiyan bana
ek ek ashru se bhar raha hoon tumhare
sahej kar rakh raha hoon
kisi din inhein, muktak jo banana hai mujhe
aganit bhagon mein vibhakt kar

attempted translation,
i am dividing my heart
in a million pieces
making oyster shells out of these
placing each one of your tears in them
with care
someday, i’ve to make pearls out of these
