Kuchh aise ghaao bhii hote hai.n,

siine me.n chhupaa ke rakhate hai.n,
aur saarii umr nahii.n rote,

[ghaao = wound]

niinde.n bhii muhaiyaa hotii hai.n,
sapane bhii duur nahii.n hote,
kyuu.N phir bhii jaagate rahate hai.n,
kyuu.N saarii raat nahii.n sote,

[muhaiyaa = available]

ab kis se kahe.n ai jaan-e-vafaa,
ye ahal-e-vafaa kis aag me.n jalate rahate hai.n,
kyuu.N bujh ke raakh nahii.n hote.
