din kaT rahe hai.n kash-ma-kash-e-rozagaar me.n
dam ghuT rahaa hai saayaa-e-abr-e-bahaar me.n

aatii hai apane jism ke jalane kii buu mujhe
luTate hai.n nakahato.n ke sabuu jab bahaar me.n

[nakahat = fragrance]

guzaraa idhar se jab ko_ii jho.nkaa to chau.nk kar
dil ne kahaa ye aa gaye ham kis dayaar me.n

mai.n ik pal se ra.nj-e-furaavaa.N me.n kho gayaa
murjhaa gaye zamaane mere i.ntazaar me.n

[ra.nj-e-furaavaa.N = extreme sadness]

hai ku.nj-e-aafiyat tujhe paa kar pataa chalaa
kyaa hum-hume the gard-e-sar-e-rahaguzaar me.n

[ku.nj-e-aafiyat = place for rest
