jab bhii nazm-e-maikadaa badalaa gayaa
ek na ek jaam-e-hasii.n to.Daa gayaa

jab safiinaa mauj se Takaraa gayaa
naaKudaa ko bhii Kudaa yaad aa gayaa

%[safiinaa = ship/boat; naaKudaa = oarsman (also personifying evil)]

mai.n ne chhe.Daa qissaa-e-jaur-e-falak
jaane kyuu.N unako pasiinaa aa gayaa

%[jaur = oppression]

dekh kar unakii jafaao.n kaa Kuluus
mai.n vafaa ke naam par sharmaa gayaa

aap ab aae.N hai.n aa.Nsuu po.nchane
jab mere daaman pe dhabbaa aa gayaa
