yaa rab! Gam-e-hijraa.N me.n itanaa to kiyaa hotaa 
jo haath jigar pe hai vo dast-e-duaa hotaa 

[Gam-e-hijraa.N = sorrow of separation] 
[dast-e-duaa = hands raised in prayer] 

ek ishq kaa Gam aafat aur us pe ye dil aafat 
yaa Gam na diyaa hotaa yaa dil na diyaa hotaa 

Gairo.n se kahaa tum ne Gairo.n se sunaa tum ne 
kuchh ham se kahaa hotaa kuchh ham se sunaa hotaa 

ummiid to ba.ndh jaatii taskii.n to ho jaatii 
vaadaa na vafaa karate vaadaa to kiyaa hotaa 

naakaam-e-tamannaa dil is soch me.n rahataa hai 
yuu.N hotaa to kyaa hotaa yuu.N hotaa to kyaa hotaa
