Kyun dhudhtey usko aasman men
Dikhai deta agar jahanmen
Kyun dhudhtey usko aasman men
Kitab tumne nayi utha li.
Rukey the ham kal ki daastan men.
Hai apni hi bekhudi se milna,
Milo baharon men ya khizan men.
Woh baat samjhe na khamoshi tum
To fark kya gair-aashna men?
Jo ud gaya uski yaad ka rang
Nahin raha kuchh is aashiyan men.
The haathmen haath thame baithe,
Ham is jahan men, tum us jahan men.
Gulon ne rokey kadam to samjhe
Ke qaid the ham to gulsitan men.
