dil-o-dimaaG ko ro luu.Ngaa, aah kar luu.Ngaa
tumhaare ishq me.n sab kuchh tabaah kar luu.Ngaa

agar mujhe na milii.n tum tumhaare sar kii qasam
mai.n apanii saarii javaanii tabaah kar luu.Ngaa

mujhe jo dair-o-haram me.n kahii.n jagah na milii
tere Khayaal hii ko sajdaagaah banaa luu.Ngaa

[sajdagaah = place of worship]

jo tum se kar diyaa maharuum aasmaa.N ne mujhe
mai.n apanii zi.ndagii sarf-e-gunaah kar luu.Ngaa

[maharuum = deprived; sarf-e-gunaah = submitted to sin]

raqiib se bhii miluu.Ngaa tumhaare hukm pe mai.n
jo ab talak na kiyaa thaa ab aah kar luu.Ngaa

[raqiib = rival]

tumhaarii yaad me.n mai.n kaaT duu.Ngaa hashr ke din
tumhaare hijr me.n raate.n siyaah kar luu.Ngaa

hariim-e-hazarat-e-salamaa kii simt jaataa huu.N
huaa na zabt to chupake se aah kar luu.Ngaa

ye nau-bahaar ye abr-o-havaa ye ra.ng-e-sharaab
chalo jo ho so ho ab to gunaah kar luu.Ngaa

kisii hasiinaa ke maasuum ishq me "Akhtar"
javaanii kyaa hai mai.n sab kuchh tabaah kar luu.Ngaa
