aa.Nkhe.n merii talavo.n se mal jaaye to achchhaa


aa.Nkhe.n merii talavo.n se mal jaaye to achchhaa 
hai hasrat-e-paa-bos nikal jaaye to achchhaa 

[paa-bos=kissing the feet;] 

jo chashm ke be-nam ho.n, vo ho kor to bahatar 
jo dil ke ho be-daaG, vo jal jaaye to achchhaa 

[kor=sightless;] 

furqat me.n terii taar-e-nafas siine me.n mere 
kaa.NTaa saa khaTakataa hai, nikal jaaye to achchhaa 

[furqat=separation; taar-e-nafas=here it implies pain like needles pricking] 

vo subah ko aaye to karuu.N baate.n mai.n do-pahar 
aur chaahuu.N ke din tho.Daa sa Dhal jaaye to achchhaa 

Dhal jaaye jo din bhii to isii tarah karuu.N shaam 
aur chaahuu.N ke gar aaj se kal jaaye to achchhaa 

jab kal ho to phir vahii karuu.N kal kii tarah se 
gar aaj ka din bhii yuu.N hii Tal jaaye to achchhaa 

al-qissaa nahii.n chaahataa mai.n, jaaye vo yaa.N se 
dil usakaa yahii.n garache bahal jaaye to achchhaa 

[al-qissaa= in short]
