yuuN zindagii kii raah mein takraa gayaa ko’ii

vo haadisaa vo pahlii mulaaqat kyaa kahuuN
kitnii ajab thii suurat-e-haal kyaa kahuuN

saansoN se bhii qariib mere, aa gayaa ko’ii

(barham : restless; hasiiN : beautiful; bechaargii : wretchedness; rah’m : mercy)

ab us dil-e-tabaah ki haalat na puuchhiye
be-naam aarzuu ki wo lazzat na puuchhiye

ek haadisaa thaa, pyaar kaa unvaan ban gayaa
manzil kaa raastaa mujhe dikhlaa gayaa ko’ii
