aaj ashko.n kaa taar TuuT gayaa
rishtaa-e-intazaar TuuT gayaa


yuu.N vo Thukaraa ke chal diye goyaa
ik khilaunaa thaa pyaar TuuT gayaa


roye rah-rah kar hich_kiyaa.N lekar
saaz-e-Gam baar baar TuuT gayaa

[saaz = musical instrument]


aap kii beruKhii kaa shikavaa kyaa
dil thaa naapaa_idaar TuuT gayaa

[naapaa_idaar = weak/delicate]


dekh lii dil ne.n besabaatii-e-gul
phir tilism-e-bahaar TuuT gayaa

[besabaatii-e-gul = mortality/short life span of a flower]
[tilism-e-bahaar = (magic)spell of spring]


'Saif' kyaa chaar din kii ranjish se
itanii muddat kaa pyaar TuuT gayaa
