aaj ik aur baras biit gaya us ke baghhair jis ke hote hue hote the zamane mere

dekhiye paate hain ushshaq buton se kya faiz ik barahman ne kaha hai ki ye saal achchha hai ghalib juxtaposes the general optimism of an astrological prediction with the specific pessimism of a lover. while the brahmin predicts a 'good year' based on stars, the speaker remains skeptical, wondering if this cosmic good fortune will translate into any actual kindness from the notoriously indifferent beloveds (referred to as idols). it highlights that for a lover, luck is defined solely by the beloved's attitude.

tu naya hai to dikha subh nai shaam nai varna in ankhon ne dekhe hain nae saal kai

yakum january hai naya saal hai december men puchhunga kya haal hai

kisi ko sal-e-nau ki kya mubarakbad di jaae calender ke badalne se muqaddar kab badalta hai

umr ka ek aur saal gaya vaqt phir ham pe khaak daal gaya

purane saal ki thithuri hui parchhaiyan simtin nae din ka naya suraj ufuq par uthta aata hai

ik ajnabi ke haath men de kar hamara haath lo saath chhodne laga akhir ye saal bhi

chehre se jhaad pichhle baras ki kuduraten divar se purana calender utaar de

dulhan bani hui hain rahen jashn manao sal-e-nau ke

mubarak mubarak naya saal aaya khushi ka saman saari duniya pe chhaya

bahar-e-husn ye do din ki chandni hai huzur jo baat ab ki baras hai vo paar saal nahin

nae saal men pichhli nafrat bhula den chalo apni duniya ko jannat bana den

palat si gai hai zamane ki kaaya naya saal aaya naya saal aaya

aaj ik aur baras biit gaya us ke baghhair jis ke hote hue hote the zamane mere
