[jhijhak=hesitation; zikr=mention; fasaanaa=tale] 

baras pa.Dii thii jo ruKh se naqaab uThaane me.n 
vo chaa.Ndanii hai abhii tak mere Gariib-Khaane me.n 

[ruKh=face; naqaab=veil] 

isii me.n ishq kii qismat badal bhii sakatii thii 
jo vaqt biit gayaa mujh ko aazamaane me.n 

ye kah ke TuuT pa.Daa shaaKh-e-gul se aaKhirii phuul 
ab aur der hai kitanii bahaar aane me.n
