Jeete the khaflat mein,
kyun khvaab-e-taraab koi dikhla gaya
Vasl’ ke lams se,
Jismo-jaan koi nawaaz gaya
iKhtiyaarii thi kashish,
be-iKhtiyaarii koi kara gaya
Fir Rukhsat hui taazim-e-ishq,
Khudgarz jeet kar mujhko hara gaya
Zindagi kareeb dekh kar,
zinda-dili se ghabraa gaya
Ek khwaab tha kareeb haqeeqat ke,
Kyun aaine se takra gaya …

Rukhsat=leave,taazim-e-ishq=
Mehfuz hain har who khwaab ankhon mein ansoo ban kar,
Aa jaata hai bahar maikhane mein kabhi kabhi paani ban ke.
Hijr' ke kisse kahenge kabhi fursat mein,
Aaj do pal to jee lene do sharabi ban ke,
Toota kabhi jo dard-e-qarar, teri bazm mein
Jhalak jaayenge paimana ban ke
Saqi aaj na rok, jee bhar ke peene de,
Idhar na lautenge fir yeah kadam zindagi ban ke
Khud pe itraata hai ae magrur husn,
Milenge tujhse roz ab aaina ban ke
saqi:bartender
dard-e-qarar:pact with pain
bazm:mehfil,
Daastane ishq mein ae gaafil,
Khuda samajh kar tujhko poojate rahe.
Hum Gair ki khwahish ko ,
zindagi samajh ke har pal jeete rahe,
gum’e furkat mein bewafa,
takdeer se shikwey karte rahe
aankh jo khuli shabe -maah mein
Kashakash se, karwatein badalte rahe .
Aaj saamne khada hai who noor, fir bhi,
Ulfat se unhe dekhte hi rahe ….
