** na jaane aaj ye kis kaa Khayaal aayaa hai **
na jaane aaj ye kis kaa Khayaal aayaa hai
Khushii kaa rang liye har malaal aayaa hai
[malaal = sorrow]
vo ek shaKhs ki haasil na thaa jo Khud ko bhii
miTaa kisii pe to kaisaa bahaal aayaa hai
zubaa.N pe harf-e-talab bhii nahii.n ko_ii phir bhii
nigaah-e-dost me.n rang-e-jalaal aayaa hai
[harf-e-talab = word of desire; rang-e-jalaal = colour of anger]
kiyaa na zikr bhii jis kaa tamaam umr kabhii
hamaare kaam bahut vo malaal aayaa hai
nahii.n hai tum se ko_ii dostii bhii ab to magar
qadam qadam pe ye kaisaa vabaal aayaa hai
[vabaal = trouble]
