Kal Par Hi Rakho Wafa Ki Baatein;
Main Aaj Bahut Bhuja Hua Hun!
Shakhon Se Toot Jayein Woh Patte Nahi Hain Hum;
Aandhi Se Koi Keh De Ki Auqat Mein Rahe!
Tujhe Tarash Ke Main Sakht Munfaeil Hun,
Ki Log Tujhe Sanam, To Samajhne Lage Khuda Mujh Ko!
Tarash: Carving, cutting with skill
Munfaeil: shamed
Sanam: Idol
Yeh Jo Pani Mein Sunehera Garoor Utar Aaya Hai;
Zaroor Usne Pani Mein Payu Utara Hoga!
Jaise Meri Nigaah Ne Dekha Na Ho Kabhi;
Mehsoos Ye Hua Tujhe Har Baar Dekh Kar!
Us Ke Daaman Mein Bhi Zakhmon Ke Siva Kuch Na Mila;
Humne Jis Shaqs Ko Samjha Tha Maseeha Sabka!
Daaman: Lower portion of a shirt or a coat
Maseeha: Saviour
Uthti Nahi Hai Aankh Kisi Aur Ki Taraf;
Paband Kar Gayi Hai Kisi Ki Nazar Mujhe!
Zikr Jab Chhidd Geya Qayamat Ka;
Baat Pahunchi Teri Jawani Tak!
Chaman Mein Shab Ko Jo Woh Shokh Be-Naqab Aaya,
Yakeen Ho Geya Shabnam Ko Aaftab Aaya;
Un Ankhdiyon Mein Agar Nasha-e-Sharab Aaya,
Salaam Jhuk Ke Karunga Jo Phir Hijab Aaya!
Meri Khushi Ki Muddat Itni Hai Faraz,
Guzar Jati Hai Mere Muskurane Se Pehle!
