aa.Nkho.n me.n bas ke dil me.n samaa kar chale gaye
Khvaabidaa zi.ndagii thii jagaa kar chale gaye

[Khvaabidaa = lost in dreams/slumbering]

chehare tak aastiin vo laakar chale gaye
kyaa raaz thaa ki jis ko chhipaakar chale gaye

rag rag me.n is tarah vo samaa kar chale gaye
jaise mujh hii ko mujhase churaakar chale gaye

aaye the dil kii pyaas bujhaane ke vaaste
ik aag sii vo aur lagaa kar chale gaye

lab thar-tharaa ke rah gaye lekin vo ai "Jigar"
jaate huye nigaah milaakar chale gaye
