Raah-e-aashiqii ke maare raah-e-aam tak na pahu.Nche, 
kabhii subah tak na pahu.Nche kabhii shaam tak na pahu.Nche, 

mujhe mast agar banaa de ye nigaah-e-mast terii, 
mera haath kyaa nazar bhii kabhii jaam tak na pahu.Nche, 

mujhe apanii bekasii kaa nahii.n Gam Khayaal ye hai, 
kahii.n baat ba.Dhate ba.Dhate tere naam tak na pahu.Nche, 

jo ye daur bevafaa hai tera Gam to mustaqil ho, 
vo hayaat-e-aashiqii kyaa jo davaam tak na pahu.Nche, 

[mustaqil=permanent; dawaam=infinity] 

ye anokhii bar_hamii hai ke na bhuule se labo.n par,
