dil-e-pur_Khuu.N kii ik gulaabii se
umr bhar ham rahe sharaabii se

dil dahal jaaye hai sahar se aah
raat guzaregii kis Kharaabii se

[dil dahalanaa = to dread/fear; sahar = morning]

khilanaa kam kam kalii ne siikhaa hai
us kii aa.Nkho.n kii niim_Khvaabii se

[niim_Khvaabii = half open (drowsy)]

kaam the ishq me.n bahut se 'Meer'
ham hii faariG hue shitaabii se

[faariG = rid of/free]
