ye soch kar ki terii jabii.n par na bal pa.De
bas duur hii se dekh liyaa aur chal pa.De

[jabii.n = forehead; bal - wrinkle]

dil me.n phir ik kasak-sii uThii muddato.n  ke baad
ik umr ke ruke hue aa.Nsuu nikal pa.De

siine me.n beqaraar hai.n murdaa muhabbate.n
mumkin hai ye charaaG kabhii Khud hii jal pa.De

[mumkin = possible] 

ai dil tujhe badalatii hu_ii rut se kyaa milaa
paudho.n me.n phuul aur daraKhto.n me.n phal pa.De

[daraKht = tree]

ab kis ke intazaar me.n jaage.n tamaam shab
vo saath ho to niind me.n kaise Khalal pa.De

[tamaam = whole/entire; shab = night; Khalal = disturbance/obstruction]

'Shehzad' dil ko zabt kaa yaaraa nahii.n rahaa
nikalaa jo maahataab samandar uchhal pa.De
