jab talak aazad the har ek masafat thi wabaal
jab paDi zanjir pairon mein safar achchhe lage

hawa ke apne ilaqe hawas ke apne maqam

hawa daraKHton se kahti hai dukh ke lahje mein
abhi mujhe kai sahraon se guzarna hai

ghairon ko kya paDi hai ki ruswa karen mujhe
in sazishon mein hath kisi aashna ka hai

what is it to strangers to spread this calumny
the conspiracy is the work of someone close to me

ganw ki aankh se basti ki nazar se dekha
ek hi rang hai duniya ko jidhar se dekha

dekhne ke liye sara aalam bhi kam
chahne ke liye ek chehra bahut

chashm-e-inkar mein iqrar bhi ho sakta tha
chheDne ko mujhe phir meri ana puchhti hai

chaman wahi ki jahan par labon ke phul khilen
badan wahi ki jahan raat ho gawara bhi

ichhaD ke tujh se kisi dusre pe marna hai
ye tajraba bhi isi zindagi mein karna hai
