Kisee kee yaad mein chand baras aise guzre
raet [sand] ke katre girte hon aashita aahista
aaj bhi aas hai chasm-e-gunahgaar [sinful eyes] unhei dekh lein
kabr mein umr talaq karwatein masroor[willingly acceptable] hain

 

ek sawaal hai qaatiya tang [devil part of the soul disturbing] karta hai
merii furkat[lover's separation] ke moalif [writer] teraa mizaaj kya thaa

 

afsurdaah(rueful) zindagee shabdon mein kya bayaan hogee
chand hamdardon kee dast-e-dua[hands raised in prayer] mil jaatee hai
(a)gar ye syaahi(ink) gamkhvaar(close friend) na hotee
dastaan-e-mohabbat ko lafzon ka kafan dushvaar(difficult) thaa

 

baahar fazaon mein jhoolte ye khushgavaar ped(trees) [am sitting next to Homewood's window,  can see lot of trees]
jumbishon (movement, the swaying motion of trees in winds) se aaj muunh chidhaate hain
dil ek dhadaktaa inkee shakhon mein
har toot ta patta gam-e-furkat (sorrow of separation) gaata
