sataa sataa ke hame.n ashk-baar karatii hai
tumhaarii yaad bahut beqaraar karatii hai

[ashk-baar = tearful]

vo din jo saath guzaare the pyaar ke hamane
talaash un ko nazar baar baar karatii hai

gilaa nahii.n jo nasiibo.n ne kar diyaa hai judaa
terii judaa_ii bhii ab ham ko pyaar karatii hai

[gilaa = complaint]

kinaare baiTh ke jis ke kiye the qaul-o-qaraar
nadii vo ab bhii teraa i.ntazaar karatii hai

[qaul = promises]
