shama jis aag mein jalti hai numaish ke liye
hum usi aag mein gum-nam se jal jate hain

the fire,that the flame burns in, for all to see
In that very fire I do burn but namelessly

abta lakh sahi qafila-salar ke sath
hum ko chalna hai magar waqt ki raftar ke sath

ahega sath tera pyar zindagi ban kar
ye aur baat meri zindagi wafa na kare

aqs karne ka mila hukm jo dariyaon mein
hum ne KHush ho ke bhanwar bandh panw mein

sati to main ho jaungi par ye mujhe bata
pahle agar main mar gai jalega tu bhi kya

Qateel Shifai

soch ko jurat-e-parwaz to mil lene do
ye zamin aur hamein tang dikhai degi

sukh gai jab aankhon mein pyar ki nili jhil 'qatil'
tere dard ka zard samundar kahe shor machaega

subut-e-ishq ki ye bhi to ek surat hai
ki jis se pyar karen us pe tohmaten bhi dharen

'qatil' ab dil ki dhaDkan ban gai hai chap qadmon ki
koi meri taraf aata hua mahsus hota hai
