qurbato.n me.n bhii judaa_ii ke zamaane maa.Nge
dil vo be-mehar ki rone ke bahaane maa.Nge

[qurbat = closeness; be-mehar = cruel]

apanaa ye haal ke jii haar chuke, luT bhii chuke
aur muhabbat vahii a.ndaaz puraane maa.Nge

ham na hote to kisii aur ke charche hote
khalkat-e-shahar to kahane ko fasaane maa.Nge

[khalkat-e-shahar = denizens of the city]

dil kisii haal pe maane hii nahii.n jaan-e-Faraz
mil gaye tum bhii to kyaa aur na jaane maa.Nge
