Dar Ke Kisii Se Chhup Jaataa Hai Jaise Saanp Khazaane Mein
Zar Ke Zor Se Zindaa Hain Sab Khaak Ke Is Viiraane Mein
[Zar = Gold]
Jaise Rasm Adaa Karate Hon Shaharon Kii Aabaadii Mein
Subah Ko Ghar Se Duur Nikal Kar Shaam Ko Vaapis Aane Mein
[Rasm = Custom/tradition; Vaapis = Return]
Niile Rang Men Duubii Aankhen Khulii Padii Thiin Sabze Par
Aks Padaa Thaa Aasmaan Kaa Shaayad Is Paimaane Mein
[Sabze = Green Grass/field; Aks = Reflection]
Dil Kuchh Aur Bhii Sard Huaa Hai Shaam-E-Shahar Kii Raunaq Mein
Kitanii Ziyaa Be-Suud Gaii Hai Shiishe Ke Lafz Jalaane Mein
[Raunaq = Light/brightness; Ziyaa = Light; Be-Suud = Futile]
Main To ‘Munir’ Aaiine Men Khud Ko Tak Kar Hairaan Huaa
Ye Cheharaa Kuchh Aur Tarah Thaa Pahale Kisii Zamaane Mein
