kabhi mai-kada kabhi but-kada kabhi kaba to kabhi KHanqah
ye teri talab ka junun tha mujhe kab kisi se lagaw tha

At times taverns, temples times, mosques and times, monasteries
`twas frenzy of my search for you, else when was I attached to these.

sal, par sal, aur phir is sal

TaTolo parakh lo chalo aazma lo

yaad aati hai achchhi si koi baat sar-e-sham
phir subh talak sochte rahte hain wo kya thi
