ho jaegi jab tum se shanasai zara aur
ho jā.egī jab tum se shanāsā.ī zarā aur
baḌh jā.egī shāyad mirī tanhā.ī zarā aur
kyuuñ khul ga.e logoñ pe mirī zaat ke asrār
ai kaash ki hotī mirī gahrā.ī zarā aur
phir haath pe zaḳhmoñ ke nishāñ gin na sakoge
ye uljhī huī Dor jo suljhā.ī zarā aur
tardīd to kar saktā thā phailegī magar baat
is taur bhī hogī tirī rusvā.ī zarā aur
kyuuñ tark-e-ta.alluq bhī kiyā lauT bhī āyā?
achchhā thā ki hotā jo vo harjā.ī zarā aur
hai diip tirī yaad kā raushan abhī dil meñ
ye ḳhauf hai lekin jo havā aa.ī zarā aur
laḌnā vahīñ dushman se jahāñ gher sako tum
jītoge tabhī hogī jo paspā.ī zarā aur
baḌh jā.eñge kuchh aur lahū bechne vaale
ho jaa.e agar shahr meñ mahñgā.ī zarā aur
ik Dūbtī dhaḌkan kī sadā log na sun leñ
kuchh der ko bajne do ye shahnā.ī zarā aur
ho jaegi jab tum se shanasai zara aur
baDh jaegi shayad meri tanhai zara aur
kyun khul gae logon pe meri zat ke asrar
ai kash ki hoti meri gahrai zara aur
phir hath pe zaKHmon ke nishan gin na sakoge
ye uljhi hui Dor jo suljhai zara aur
tardid to kar sakta tha phailegi magar baat
is taur bhi hogi teri ruswai zara aur
kyun tark-e-talluq bhi kiya lauT bhi aaya?
achchha tha ki hota jo wo harjai zara aur
hai dip teri yaad ka raushan abhi dil mein
ye KHauf hai lekin jo hawa aai zara aur
laDna wahin dushman se jahan gher sako tum
jitoge tabhi hogi jo paspai zara aur
baDh jaenge kuchh aur lahu bechne wale
ho jae agar shahr mein mahngai zara aur
ek Dubti dhaDkan ki sada log na sun len
kuchh der ko bajne do ye shahnai zara aur
