rakhta hai go qadim se buniyaad aagara
akbar ke nam se hua aabaad aagara

yan ke khandar na aur jagah ki imaraten
yaro ajab maqam hai dil-shad aagara [...]

in pari-ruyon ki aisi hi agar kasrat rahi
thode arsa mein paristan aagara ho jaega

Ami manus k hasate valobasi,
but kadate noy...
ami manuser mon k valobasi,
but rup k noy...
ami prithibir sob vulte pari,
but bondhu 2ma k noy.

Muddat Hui Hai Yaar Ko Mehman Kiye Hue

Josh-e-Qadah Se Bazm Chiraghan Kiye Hue

Karta Hun Jama Phir Jigar-e-Lakht Lakht Ko

Arsa Hua Hai Dawat-e-Mizhgaan Kiye Hue!



Translation:

It has been an age since my lover was hosted,

When heated wine lit candles through night,

Once again, I gather the pieces of my dismembered body,

What time has passed since I encountered those killing eyes.

Cheen Lun Tujhe Duniya Se Ye Mere Bas Mein Nahi

Mere Dil Se Tujhe Koi Nikaal De Ye Bhi Kisi Ke Bas Mein Nahi!
