vo ahad ahad hii kyaa jise nibhaao bhii
hamaare vaadaa-e-ulfat ko bhuul jaao bhii

[ahad = promise]

bhalaa kahaa.N ke ham aise gumaan-vaale hai.n
hazaar baar ham aaye.n hame.n bulaao bhii

[gumaan-vaale = suspicious people]

biga.D chalaa hai bahut rasm-e-Khud-kushii kaa chalan
Daraane vaalo kisii roz kar dikhaao bhii

tumhaarii nii.nd me.n Duubii hu_ii aa.Nkho.n kii qasam
hame.n ye zid hai ki jaago bhii aur jagaao bhii
