Saaf Zaahir Hai Nigaahon Se Ki Ham Marate Hain
Muunh Se Kahate Huye Ye Baat Magar Darate Hain
Ek Tasvir-E-Muhabbat Hai Javaanii Goyaa
Jis Men Rangon Kii Ivaz Khunn-E-Jigar Bharate Hain
[Ivaz=instead Of]
Isharat-E-Raftaa Ne Jaa Kar Na Kiyaa Yaad Hamen
Isharat-E-Raftaa Ko Ham Yaad Kiyaa Karate Hain
[Isharat-E-Raftaa=happiness Of The Days Gone By]
Aasmaan Se Kabhii Dekhii Na Ga_ii Apanii Khushii
Ab Ye Haalaat Hain Ki Ham Hansate Hue Darate Hain
Sher Kahate Ho Bahut Khuub Tum “Akhtar” Lekin
Achchhe Shaayar Ye Sunaa Hai Ki Javaan Marate Hain
