[Afreen]

ham saadaa hii aise the, kii yuuN hii paziiraa’ii
jis baar KhizaaN aa’ii samajhe ki bahaar aa’ii

aashob-e-nazar se kii hamne chaman-aaraa’ii
jo shai bhii nazar aa’ii gul-rang nazar aa’ii

ummiid-e-inaayat meN raNjiidaa rahe donoN
tuu aur terii mehfil, maiN aur merii tanahaa’ii

yak-jaan na ho sakiye anjaan na ban sakiye
yuuN TuuT ga’ii dil meN shamshiir-e-shanaasaa’ii

is tan kii taraf dekho jo qatl-gah-e-dil hai
kyaa rakkhaa hai maqtal meN ai chashm-e-tamaashaa’ii
