aaj kisii ne baato.n baato.n me.n, jab un kaa naam liyaa
dil ne jaise Thokar khaa_ii, dard ne ba.Dakar thaam liyaa

ghar se daaman jha.D ke nikale, vahashat kaa saamaan na puuchh
yaanii gard-e-raah se hamane, raKt-e-safar kaa kaam liyaa

%[vahashat = fear/anxiety; gard-e-raah = dirt of the street; raKt-e-safar = things needed on a journey]

diivaaro.n ke saaye-saaye, umr bitaa_ii diivaane
muft me.n tanaasaani-e-Gam kaa apane par ilzaam liyaa

%[tanaasaani-e-Gam = to carry the burden of sorrow]

raah-e-talab me.n chalate chalate, thank ke jab ham chuur huye
zulf kii Tha.nDii chaa.Nv me.n baiThe, pal do pal aaraam liyaa

%[raah-e-talab = path of desire/want]

ho.nTh jale.n yaa siinaa sulage, ko_ii taras kab khaataa hai
jaam usii kaa jisane 'TabaaN', jur'at se kuchh kaam liyaa

%[jur'at = boldness]
