Sitaraa Apani Bhi Taabindagi Na Dekh Sakaa
Vo Dhundh Thi Ki Ye Manzar Koi Na Dekh Sakaa

[Taabindagi = Brilliance/shine]

Ye Soch Kar Ki Teri Jabin Par Na Bal Pade
Bas Dur Hi Se Dekh Liyaa Aur Chal Pade

[Jabin = Forehead; Bal – Wrinkle]

Tay Honge Kis Tarah Ye Maraahil Kaha Na Jaae
Is Tiragi Mein Kya Hai Muqaabil Kaha Na Jaae

[Maraahil=obstacles; Tiragi=darkness; Muqaabil=in Front]

Samajh Mein Ye Nahi Aata Ki Dil Ki Khuu Kya Thi
Safar To Aath Pahar Ka Tha Justaju Kya Thi

Laut Aai Tere Lams Se Mahaki Hui Shaamen
Phir Aag Lagaa Di Teri Saanson Ne Havaa

[Lams = Touch]

Jo Shajar Sukh Gayaa Hai Vo Haraa Kaise Ho
Main Payamabar To Nahin Mera Kahaa Kaise Ho

Dil Ke Har Zarre Pe Hai Naqsh Mohabbat Uski
Nur Aankhon Kaa Hai Aankhon Se Judaa Kaise Ho

Jal Bhi Chuke Paravaane Ho Bhi Chuki Rusvaai
Ab Khaak Udaane Ko Baithe Hain Tamaashaai

Taaron Ki Ziyaa Dil Mein Ik Aag Lagaati Hai
Aaraam Se Raaton Ko Sote Nahin Saudaai

Haal Usakaa Tere Chehare Pe Likhaa Lagataa Hai
Vo Chup Chaap Khada Hai Tera Kya Lagataa Hai

Yun To Har Chiz Salaamat Hai Meri Duniyaa Mein
Ek Ta’alluq Hai Jo Tutaa Hua Lagataa Hai

Dub Jaayenge Sitaare Aur Bikhar Jaayegi Raat
Dekhati Rah Jaayengi Aankhen Guzar Jaayegi Raat

Raat Ka Pahalaa Pahar Hai Ahal-E-Dil Khaamosh Hai
Subah Tak Roti Hui Aankhon Se Bhar Jaayegi Raat

Umar Bhar Apane Girebaan Se Ulajhane Vaale
Tu Mujhe Mere Saaye Se Darataa Kya Hai

[Girebaan=technically Means The Collar Of A Shirt But Generally Refers To A Person’s Clothing/body]
