Duur Se Duur Talak Ek Bhii Darakht Na Thaa
Tumhaare Ghar Kaa Safar Is Qadar To Sakht Na Thaa
[Darakht = Tree; Sakht = Difficult/hard]
Itane Masaruuf The Ham Jaane Kii Taiyaarii Men
Khade Them Tum Aur Tumhen Dekhane Kaa Vaqt Ka Thaa
[Masaruuf = Busy]
Main Jis Kii Khoj Men Khud Kho Gayaa Thaa Mele Men
Kahiin Vo Meraa Hii Ehasaas To Kambakht Na Thaa
[Kambakht = Unfortunate]
Jo Zulm Sah Ke Bhii Chup Rah Gayaa Na Khaul Uthaa
Vo Aur Kuchh Ho Magar Aadamii Kaa Rakt Na Thaa
[Khaul = Boil; Raqt = Blood]
Unhiin Faqiiron Ne Itihaas Banaayaa Hai Yahaan
Jin Pe Itihaas Ko Likhane Ke Liye Vaqt Na Thaa
[Itihaas = History]
Sharaab Kar Ke Piyaa Us Ne Zahar Jiivan Bhar
Hamaare Shahar Men ‘Neeraj’-Saa Koii Mast Na Thaa
