Din kaT rahe hai.n kash-ma-kash-e-rozagaar me.n ,
dam ghuT rahaa hai saayaa-e-abr-e-bahaar me.n,
aatii hai apane jism ke jalane kii buu mujhe ,
luTate hai.n nakahato.n ke sabuu jab bahaar me.n,
[nakahat=fragrance]
guzaraa idhar se jab ko_ii jho.nkaa to chau.nk kar ,
dil ne kahaa ye aa gaye ham kis dayaar me.n,
mai.n ik pal se ra.nj-e-furaavaa.N me.n kho gayaa ,
murjhaa gaye zamaane mere i.ntazaar me.n,
[ra.nj-e-furaavaa.N=extreme sadness]
hai ku.nj-e-aafiyat tujhe paa kar pataa chalaa ,
kyaa hum-hume the gard-e-sar-e-rahaguzaar me.n.
[ku.nj-e-aafiyat=place for rest]
