kuchh pahale in aa.Nkho.n aage kyaa kyaa na nazaaraa guzare thaa
kyaa raushan ho jaatii thii galii jab yaar hamaaraa guzare thaa

the kitane achchhe log ki jinako apane Gam se fursat thii
sab puuchhe.n the ahavaal jo ko_ii dard kaa maaraa guzare thaa

[ahavaal=condition]

ab ke to Khizaa.N aisii Thaharii vo saare zamaane bhuul gaye
jab mausam-e-gul har phere me.n aa aa ke dubaaraa guzare thaa

thii yaaro.n kii bahutaat to ham aGayaar se bhii bezaar na the
jab mil baiThe to dushman kaa bhii saath gavaaraa guzare thaa

[aGayaar=strangers]

ab to haath sujhaa_ii na deve lekin ab se pahale to
aa.nkh uThate hii ek nazar me.n aalam saaraa guzare thaa

yaado.n se muattar aatii hai ashko.n se munavvar jaatii hai

kuchh ishq kiyaa, kuchh kaam kiyaa

kuchh ishq kiyaa, kuchh kaam kiyaa
Faiz Ahmed Faiz

vo log bahut Khush_qismat the 
jo ishq ko kaam samajhate the 
yaa kaam se aashiqii karate the 
ham jiite jii masaruuf rahe 
kuchh ishq kiyaa kuchh kaam kiyaa 
 
kaam ishq ke aa.De aataa rahaa 
aur ishq se kaam ulajhataa rahaa 
phir aaKhir tang aakar ham ne 
dono.n ko adhuuraa chho.D diyaa
