Gam kaa sitaaraa


merii vaadii me.n vo ik din yuu.N hii aa nikalii thii 
rang aur nuur kaa bahataa huaa dhaaraa ban kar

[vaadii=valley; nuur=light]

mahafil-e-shauq me.n ik dhuum machaa dii us ne 
Khalvat-e-dil me.n rahii anjuman-aaraa ban kar

[mahafil-e-shauq=gathering of love]
[Khalvat-e-dil=solitude/loneliness of the heart] 
[anjuman-aaraa=one who adorns a meeting]

sholaa-e-ishq sar-e-arsh ko jab chhune lagaa 
u.D ga_ii vo mere siine se sharaaraa ban kar

[sar-e-arsh=seventh heaven; sharaaraa=spark]

aur ab mere tasavvur kaa ufaq roshan hai 
vo chamakatii hai jahaa.N Gam kaa sitaaraa ban kar

[tasavvur=imagination; ufaq=horizon]
