Dam-E-Subah Bazm-E-Khush Jahaan
Shab-E-Gam Se Kam Na Thii Meharabaan
Ki Chiraag Thaa So To Duud Thaa
Jo Patang Thaa So Gubaar Thaa
[Dam-E-Subah=beginning Of Dawn;
Bazm-E-Khush=happy Crowd; Duud=smoke]
Dil-E-Khastaa Jo Lahuu Ho Gayaa
To Bhalaa Huaa Ki Kahaan Talak
Kabhii Soz-E-Siinaa Se Daag Thaa
Kabhuu Dard-O-Gam Se Figaar Thaa
[Dil-E-Khastaa=wounded Heart; Figaar=injured]
Dil-E-Muzatarib Se Guzar Gaii
Shab-E-Wasl Apanii Hii Fikr Men
Na Dimaag Thaa Na Faraag Thaa
Na Shakeb Thaa Na Qaraar Thaa
[Shakeb=comfort]
Ye Tumhaarii In Dinon Dostaan Mizhgaan
Jis Ke Gam Men Hai Khuun-Chakaan
Wahii Aafat-E-Dil-E-Aashiqaan Kisu
Waqt Hamase Bhii Yaar Thaa
[Mizhgaan=eyelashes; Khuun-Chakaan=bloodshot]
Kabhuu Jaayegii Udhar Sabaa To
Ye Kahiyo Us Se Ki Bewafaa
Magar Ek “Meer”-E-Shikastaa-Paa
Tere Baag-E-Taazaa Men Khaar Thaa
[Shikastaa-Paa=feeble Footed; Khaar=thorn]
