Two lovers in a city

Two lovers in a city
At mid-day or at night
Search for ways to live,
Search for a loving place to live.

One day their home will be somewhere
In these labyrinthine streets.
The windows will open to the skies,
The skies will enter through the windows.

Two lovers with sky-blue eyes,
Now look for excuses to live
(Somewhere in these streets.)

When the stars burn on the earth
The skies turn into the earth.
That night the moon does not set
It retires right here on earth.

They look for a world, through their eyes,
Even momentarily…

This is my translation of Hindi lyrics of Gulzar,
Sung by Runa Laila-Bhupenra
In the movie, Gharonda.
