Joda Toote Khwabon Ko, Chak Daman Sila,
Kar Mujhey Naast-E-Nebood, Tujhey Kya Mila
Na Waqt Dekha, Na Mausam, Na Hi Mahina,
Murtaqiz Teri Ibaadat Mein, Chaha Na Koi Sila
(Murtaqiz = Concentrated)
Na Thi Pane Ki Arzoo Tujhey, Chaha Bas Itna,
Ferun Tasbih Terey Naam Ki, Jab Tak Lab Hila
Yeh Bhi Na Tha Qabool, Zalim Gharaat-Gar Ko,
Rounda Gharoundey Ko, Diya Mitti Mein Mila
(Gharaat-Gar = Destroyer)
Na Maanga Tujhey, Na Hi Thi Paaney Ki Aas,
Kaha Mainey, Kyun Kiya Barbaad Wajah-E-Bila,
Tu Zarra Khaakh Ka, Kaha Usne Ehaanat Sey,
Fir Mera Armaan Bhi, Tere Dil Mein Kaisey Pala.
(Ehaanat = Sarcasm)
