kyuuñ kisī ne tumheñ rokā to na thā aa jaate
aur anjān bhī rasta to na thā aa jaate
is se pahle ye bahāna to na thā aa jaate
darmiyāñ apne zamāna to na thā aa jaate
vahm hai aap kā aisā to na thā aa jaate
bazm meñ ġhair kā charchā to na aa jaate
hāl-e-bīmār bhī achchhā to na thā aa jaate
zaḳhm mujh par koī taaza to na thā aa jaate
raat Thahrī huī thī aur fazā thī gum-sum
chāñd bhī baam se utrā to na thā aa jaate
