A ghazal sung by Talat Aziz:


guzare dino.n kii yaad barasatii ghaTaa lage
guzaruu.N jo us galii se to Tha.nDii havaa lage

mehamaan banke aaye kisii roz agar vo shaKhs
us roz bin sajaaye meraa ghar sajaa lage

[mehamaan = guest; shaKhs = person]

mai.n is liye manaataa nahii.n vasl kii Khushii
mere raqiib kii na mujhe bad_duaa lage

[vasl = union; raqiib = rival; bad_duaa = ill wishes]

vo qahat dostii kaa pa.Daa hai ki in dino.n
jo muskuraa ke baat kare aashnaa lage

[qahat = famine/scarcity; aashnaa = friend/acquaintance]

tark-e-vafaa ke baad ye us kii adaa "Qateel"
mujhako sataaye ko_ii to us ko buraa lage

[tark = to give up; satanaa = torment]
