Thaanii thii dil me.n ab na mile.nge kisii se ham
par kyaa kare ke ho gaye naachaar jii se ham

[Thaananaa=to firmly decide; naachaar=helpless]

ham se na bolo tum ise kyaa kahate hai.n bhalaa
insaaf kiije puuchhate hai.n aap hii se ham

kyaa gul khilegaa dekhiye hai fasl-e-gul to duur
aur suu-e-dasht bhaagate hai.n kuchh abhii se ham

[suu-e-dasht=towards wilderness/in the direction of the desert]

kyaa dil ko le gayaa ko_ii begaanaa aashnaa
kyuu.N apane jii ko lagate hai.n kuchh ajanabii se ham
