kuchh duur hamaare saath chalo ham dil kii kahaanii kah de.nge
samajhe na jise tum aa.Nkho.n se vo baat zubaanii kah de.nge

phuulo.n kii tarah jab ho.nTho.n pe ik shoKh tabassum bikharegaa
dhiire se tumhaare kaano.n me.n ik baat puraanii kah de.nge

[tabassum = smile]

izhaar-e-vafaa tum kyaa jaano iqraar-e-vafaa tum kyaa jaano
ham zikr kare.nge Gairo.n kaa aur apanii kahaanii kah de.nge

[izhaar = disclosure; iqraar = pledge/promise]
[zikr = mention; Gair = stranger]

mausam to ba.Daa hii zaalim hai tuufaan uThaataa rahataa hai
kuchh log magar is hal-chal ko bad_mast javaanii kah de.nge

[bad_mast = intoxicated]
