Maazret, keye mey sathh nahi, haath thamney ko aaj,
Keye mey paas nahi,
Dil bujhey keye semnbhelney keye liyeye…
Kitni tarek (wasted) hovee see hey,
La-talukee kee munasibet (premature detachment),
Iss kee mushabihet (the form it took),
Iss ka anokha milaap, geire-hazreee kee tarep,
Terjumani heye apneye aap aik
Daleel-e-musafet - dekho, kitni kamosh hey aaj,
Mager heye sakin!
Tum sey munsoob jeb hona tha, teb wohh aik
Na-wakfiyet ka jaal, yey tumhey kaisey laga?
Kebhi tum ney sotcha, keye yey tum neye kiya khoya?
Afsos, kiya kiya tum ko,
Tumhari zindagi keye ehval neye bataya ho ga
Kiya kiya wohh guzrey wakyaat ko,
Tum ney khood sey hee seb kutch tow chupaya ho ga
Keb keb… tum ko hosh aya ho ga,
Keb keb… tum iss kerb seye, so geyey ho geye
Thekhey hovey, mayoos sey;
Kitna tum ko, iss zulm ney hilaya ho ga?
Afsos, mujhey keb tum neye semjha tha,
Tumhey keb kisi ney semjhaya ho ga?
