ab ke rut badalii to Khushbuu kaa safar dekhegaa kaun


ab ke rut badalii to Khushbuu kaa safar dekhegaa kaun 
zaKhm phuulo.n kii tarah mahake.nge par dekhegaa kaun 

dekhanaa sab raqs-e-bismal me.n magan ho jaaye.nge 
jis taraf se tiir aayegaa udhar dekhegaa kaun 

vo havas ho yaa vafaa ho baat maharuumii kii hai 
log to phal-phuul dekhe.nge shajar dekhegaa kaun 

[maharuum=deprived; shajar=tree] 

ham chiraaG-e-shab hii jab Thahare to phir kyaa sochanaa 
raat thii kis kaa muqaddar aur sahar dekhegaa kaun 

[chiraaG-e-shab=night lamp] 

aa fasiil-e-shahar se dekhe.n Ganiim-e-shahar ko 
shahar jalataa ho to tujh ko baam par dekhegaa kaun 

[fasiil-e-shahar=city wall/boundary; Ganiim-e-shahar=city's enemy]
