काश वो पहली मोहब्बत के ज़माने आते
काश वो पहली मोहब्बत के ज़माने आते
चाँद से लोग मिरा चाँद सजाने आते
If only those day of first love could come once again
People like the moon would come to adorn my moon
रक़्स करती हुई फिर बाद-ए-बहाराँ आती
फूल ले कर वो मुझे ख़ुद ही बुलाने आते
Spring breezes would come dancing and prancing
They would themselves come bearing flowers to call me
उन की तहरीर में अल्फ़ाज़ वही सब होते
यूँ भी होता कि कभी ख़त भी पुराने आते
The words would remain the same in their writings
Could it be that old letters too would come again
उन के हाथों में कभी प्यार का परचम होता
मेरे रूठे हुए जज़्बात मनाने आते
Sometimes the pennant of love would be held in their hands
And they would come to soothe my ruffled emotions
बारिशों में वो धनक ऐसी निकलती अब के
जिस से मौसम में वही रंग सुहाने आते
In the rains this year there will be a rainbow that will
Bring back those pleasing colours once again
वो बहारों का समाँ और वो गुल-पोश चमन
ऐसे माहौल में वो दिल ही दुखाने आते
The seasons of spring and the flower-clad garden is here once again
If they could come at such a time, even if it is to wound my heart
हर तरफ़ देख रहे हैं मिरे हम-उम्र ख़याल
राह तकती हुई आँखों को सुलाने आते
They look all about, my thoughts who are my contemporaries
If only they could come to put to sleep these eyes that lie in wait
