ai mohabbat tere anjam pe rona aaya
jaane kyun aaj tere nam pe rona aaya

love your sad conclusion makes me weep
wonder why your mention makes me weep [...]

rukhsat hua to aankh mila kar nahin gaya
wo kyun gaya hai ye bhi bata kar nahin gaya

wo yun gaya ki baad-e-saba yaad aa gai
ehsas tak bhi hum ko dila kar nahin gaya [...]

kitni be-nur thi din bhar nazar-e-parwana
raat aai to hui hai sahar-e-parwana

shama jalte hi yahan hashr ka manzar hoga
phir koi pa na sakega khabar-e-parwana [...]

wo to hashr tha magar us ki ab wo shabahaten bhi chali gain
jo rahen to shahar mein kya rahen ki qayamaten bhi chali gain

tere dam se thin sabhi raunaqen wo habib the ki raqib the
wo qarabaten to gai hi thin wo riqabaten bhi chali gain [...]

rasta bhi kathin dhup mein shiddat bhi bahut thi
sae se magar us ko mohabbat bhi bahut thi

kheme na koi mere musafir ke jalae
zakhmi tha bahut panw masafat bhi bahut thi [...]

kamal-e-zabt ko khud bhi to aazmaungi
main apne hath se us ki dulhan sajaungi

supurd kar ke use chandni ke hathon mein
main apne ghar ke andheron ko laut aaungi [...]
