Vo Koii Aur Na Thaa Chand Khushk Patte The
Shajar Se Tuut Ke Jo Fasl-E-Gul Pe Roye The

[Khushk=dry; Chand=few; Shajar=tree; Fasl-E-Gul=spring]

Zehanon Men Khayaal Jal Rahe Hain
Sochon Ke Alaav-Se Lage Hain

Duniyaa Kii Girift Men Hain Saaye
Ham Apanaa Vujuud Dhuundhate Hain

Mujhe Kal Meraa Ek Saathii Milaa
Jis Ne Ye Raaz Kholaa
Ke ‘Ab Jazbaa-O-Shauq Kii
Vahashaton Ke Zamaane Gaye’

Phir Vo Aahistaa-Aahistaa
Chaaron Taraf Dekhataa
Mujh Se Kahane Lagaa

Ziist Aazaar Huii Jaatii Hai
Saans Talavaar Huii Jaatii Hai

Jism Bekaar Huaa Jaataa Hai
Ruuh Bedaar Huii Jaatii Hai

Shaam Ko Subah-E-Chaman Yaad Aaii
Kis Kii Khushbuu-E-Badan Yaad Aaii

Jab Khayaalon Men Koii Mod Aayaa
Tere Gesuu Kii Shikan Yaad Aa_ii

Ret Se But Na Banaa Ai Mere Achchhe Fan_kaar

Ek Lamhe Ko Thahar Main Tujhe Patthar Laa Duun
Main Tere Saamane Ambaar Lagaa Duun Lekin

Maruun To Main Kisii Chehare Men Rang Bhar Jaauun
‘Nadeem’ Kaash Yahii Ek Kaam Kar Jaa_uun

Ye Dasht-E-Tark-E-Muhabbat Ye Tere Qurb Kii Pyaas
Jo Izaan Ho To Terii Yaad Se Guzar Jaa_uun

Lab-E Khaamosh Se Afshaa Hogaa
Raaz Har Rang Men Rusvaa Hogaa

Dil Ke Saharaa Men Chalii Sard Havaa
Abr Gul_zaar Pe Barasaa Hogaa

Kis Ko Qaatil Main Kahuun Kis Ko Masiihaa Samajhuun
Sab Yahaan Dost Hii Baithe Hain Kise Kyaa Samajhuun

Vo Bhii Kyaa Din The Kii Har Vaham Yaqiin Hotaa Thaa
Ab Haqiiqat Nazar Aaye To Use Kyaa Samajhuun

Gul Teraa Rang Churaa Laaye Hain Gul_zaaron Men
Jal Rahaa Huun Bharii Barasaat Kii Bauchhaaron Men

Mujh Se Kataraa Ke Nikal Jaa Magar Ai Jaan-E-Hayaa
Dil Kii Lau Dekh Rahaa Huun Tere Rukhasaaron Men
