Main Jise Odhta Bichhata Hoon | Dushyant Kumar Ghazal Translation
One of the famous ghazals by Dushyant Kumar, whose 'ho gayi hai peer parbat si pighalni chahiye' is very popular, and used in multiple places, including the film Halla Bol. In the film Masaan, Varun Grover has written a song that uses the she'r 'tu kisi rail si guzarti hai' as the mukhDa.
Main Rahoon ki Main Nahi Translation | Haider
dil ki gar sunoon to hai
dimaag ki to hai nahi
jaan loon ke jaan doon
main rahoon ke main nahi
If I listen to my heart, it's there.
If I listen to my mind, though, it's not.
Should I take a life, or give mine,
Should I remain, or should I not..
That's the simple, literal translation of the poetry that is actually Gulzar's version (I believe, it very well may be Vishal Bhardwaj's) of 'To Be or Not To Be' of Hamlet.
If you have an idea of the Hamlet, you can easily relate it to the scene in the movie, where Shahid has a gun in his hand and is asking 'jaan doon ki jaan loon', much like the confusion Hamlet of Shakespeare was in, in his soliloquy 'to be or not to be', while contemplating [or feigning, as the case may be according to one's interpretation] suicide.
The doubt whether it was actual contemplation of suicide or just feigning isn't cleared by Vishal in here as well, though my personal expectation is that the feigning part may be kept off from the movie.

Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein Khayal Aata Hai | Poem Translation
Movie: Kabhie Kabhie (1975)
Poetry: Sahir Ludhiyanvi

कभी कभी मेरे दिल में ख्याल आता है
कि ज़िंदगी तेरी जुल्फों की नर्म छांव में गुजरने पाती
तो शादाब हो भी सकती थी।
