ham se bhaagaa na karo duur Gazaalo.n kii tarah 
hamane chaahaa hai tumhe.n chaahane vaalo.n kii tarah 

[Gazaal = type of deer]

Khud-ba-Khud nii.nd-sii aa.Nkho.n me.n ghulii jaatii hai 
mahakii mahakii hai shab-e-Gam tere baalo.n kii tarah 

aur kyaa is se zyaadaa ko_ii narmii baratuu.N 
dil ke zaKhmo.n ko chhuaa hai tere gaalo.n kii tarah 

aur to mujh ko milaa kyaa merii mehanat kaa silaa 
cha.nd sikke hai.n mere haath me.n chhaalo.n kii tarah 

zi.ndagii jis ko teraa pyaar milaa vo jaane 
ham to naakaam rahe chaahane vaalo.n kii tarah
