Raat Aadhii Se Ziyaadaa Gaii Thii Saaraa Aalam Sotaa Thaa
Naam Teraa Le Le Kar Koii Dard Kaa Maaraa Rotaa Thaa
Chaaraagaro Ye Taskiin Kaisii Main Bhii Huun Is Duniyaa Men
Un Ko Aisaa Dard Kab Uthaa Jin Ko Bachanaa Hotaa Thaa
[Chaaraagaro=physicians/healers; Taskiin=consolation]
Kuchh Kaa Kuchh Kah Jaataa Thaa Main Furqat Kii Betaabii Men
Sunane Vaale Hans Padate The Hosh Mujhe Tab Aataa Thaa
[Furqat=separation/parting]
Taare Aksar Duub Chale The, Raat Ke Rone Vaalon Ko
Aane Lagii Thii Niind Sii Kuchh, Duniyaa Men Saveraa Hotaa Thaa
Tark-E-Muhabbat Karane Vaalo Kaun Aisaa Jag Jiit Liyaa
Ishq Ke Pahale Ke Din Socho Kaun Badaa Sukh Hotaa Thaa
[Tark-E-Muhabbat=abandonment Of Love]
Us Ke Aansuu Kis Ne Dekhe Us Kii Aahen Kis Ne Suniin
Chaman Chaman Thaa Husn Bhii Lekin Dariyaa Dariyaa Rotaa Thaa
Pichhalaa Pahar Thaa Hijr Kii Shab Kaa, Jaagataa Rab Sotaa Insaan
Taaron Kii Chhaaon Men Koii “Firaq” Saa Motii Pirotaa Thaa
[Pichhalaa=last; Hijr Kii Shab=night Of Parting]
[Rab=god; Pironaa=to Thread]
