aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
ham se koī ta.alluq-e-ḳhātir to hai use
vo yaar bā-vafā na sahī bevafā to hai
hum se koi talluq-e-KHatir to hai use
wo yar ba-wafa na sahi bewafa to hai
ham ko yāroñ ne yaad bhī na rakhā
'jaun' yāroñ ke yaar the ham to
hum ko yaron ne yaad bhi na rakha
'jaun' yaron ke yar the hum to
jab yaar ne uThā kar zulfoñ ke baal bāñdhe
tab maiñ ne apne dil meñ lākhoñ ḳhayāl bāñdhe
When my beloved raised her arms to gather up her tresses
A million desires gathered in my heart and got tied up in a tangle.
jab yar ne uTha kar zulfon ke baal bandhe
tab main ne apne dil mein lakhon KHayal bandhe
ye aarzū bhī baḌī chiiz hai magar hamdam
visāl-e-yār faqat aarzū kī baat nahīñ
ye aarzu bhi baDi chiz hai magar hamdam
visal-e-yar faqat aarzu ki baat nahin
chup-chāp suntī rahtī hai pahroñ shab-e-firāq
tasvīr-e-yār ko hai mirī guftugū pasand
chup-chap sunti rahti hai pahron shab-e-firaq
taswir-e-yar ko hai meri guftugu pasand
