Mit Ke Bhi Us Ki Justuju Hai Jo Jahan Mein Char-Su,
Lega Kisi Jagah Qarar Udta Hua Ghubar Kya;
Ho Chuki Khatam Sham-e-Gham Aankhon Mein Aa Chuka Hai Dum,
Ab Bhi Mareez-e-Hijr Ko Un Ka Hai Intezar Kya!
* Justuju: To look for lost object
* Char-Su: In all the four directions
Aap Ne Tasveer Bheji Maine Dekhi Ghaur Se;
Har Ada Achhi Khamoshi Ki Ada Achhi Nahi!
Toot Padti Thi Ghataen Jin Ki Aankhen Dekh Kar;
Wo Bhari Barsaat Mein Tarse Hain Paani Ke Liye!
Qabron Mein Nahi Hum Ko Kitabon Mein Utaro;
Hum Log Mohabbat Ki Kahani Mein Maren Hain!
Karim-o-Saeban Hai Wo Mujhe Mehfuz Rakhta Hai,
Mujhe Mehfuz Rakhta Hai Karim-o-Saeban Hai Wo;
Agarche Be-Makan Hai Wo Panahen Mujh Ko Deta Hai,
Panahen Mujh Ko Deta Hai Agarche Be-Makan Hai Wo!
* Karim-o-Saeban: Merciful
* Agarche: Although
Pehle Is Mein Ik Ada Thi Naaz Tha Andaaz Tha;
Roothna Ab To Teri Aadat Mein Shamil Ho Gaya!
Log Kehte Hain Raat Beet Chuki,
Mujh Ko Samjhao Main Sharabi Hun;
Hai Dua Yaad Magar Harf-e-Dua Yaad Nahi,
Mere Naghmat Ko Andaaz-e-Nava Yaad Nahin!
*Harf-e-Dua: Words of prayers
*Andaaz-e-Nava: Style of voice
Hazarat-e-Naseh Gar Aayen Didah-o-Dil Farsh-e-Raah;
Koi Mujh Ko Ye To Samjha Do Ki Samjhavenge Kya!
Tera Milna Khushi Ki Baat Sahi,
Tujh Se Mil Kar Udaas Rehta Hun;
Hazaar Barq Gire Laakh Andhiyan Uthen,
Wo Phool Khil Ke Rahenge Jo Khilne Wale Hain!
Raat Bhi Neend Bhi Kahani Bhi;
Haaye Kya Cheez Hai Jawani Bhi!
