dard pahalu se judaa ho ke kaha jayega

dil ke sun saan jaziron ki Khabar layega
dard pahalu se judaa ho ke kaha jayega

kaun hota hai kisi ka shab-e-tanhayee mai
Gam-e-furqat hi Gam-e-ishq ko bahalayega

[shab-e-tanhaayee=lonely night; Gam-e-furqat=sorrow of separation]

chaand ke pahalu mai dam saadh ke roti hai kiran
aaj taaron kaa fusun khaak nazar aayega

[fusun=magic]

raakh mai aag dabi hai Gam-e-maharuumi ki
raakh ho kar bhi ye shola hamen sulgayega

[maharuum=deprived]

vaqt Khaamosh hai ruthe hue yaaro ki tarah
kaun lau dete huye zakhmo ko sehlayega

dhup ko dekh ke us jism pe padati hai jhamak
chaon dekhenge to us zulf kaa dhyan aayega

zindagi chal ki zara maut ka damkham dekhe
varna ye jazbaa lahad tak hume le jaayegaa

[jazbaa=emotion; lahad=grave]
