jaane kyuuñ log mirā naam paḌhā karte haiñ

maiñ ne chehre pe tire yuuñ to likhā kuchh bhī nahīñ

jaane kyun log mera nam paDha karte hain

main ne chehre pe tere yun to likha kuchh bhi nahin

chhupī hai an-ginat chiñgāriyāñ lafzoñ ke dāman meñ

zarā paḌhnā ġhazal kī ye kitāb āhista āhista

chhupi hai an-ginat chingariyan lafzon ke daman mein

zara paDhna ghazal ki ye kitab aahista aahista

shaam huī to sūraj soche

saarā din bekār jale the

sham hui to suraj soche

sara din bekar jale the

terī chāhat kī hai itnī shiddat

pā liyā tujh ko to mar jā.ūñgā

teri chahat ki hai itni shiddat

pa liya tujh ko to mar jaunga

maiñ to sab kuchh bhuul chukā huuñ

tū bhūle to baat barābar

main to sab kuchh bhul chuka hun

tu bhule to baat barabar
