aashiq kii bhii kaTatii haiN  kyaa Khoob tarah raateN - Mohd. Rafi 'Sauda'

aashiq kii bhii kaTatii haiN  kyaa Khoob tarah raateN
do chaar ghaRii ronaa, do chaar ghaRii baateN

marataa hooN maiN is dukh se, yaad aatii haiN wo baateN
kyaa din wo mubaarak the, kyaa Khoob thiiN wo raateN

auroN se chhuTe dil_bar, dil_daar howe meraa
bar haq hai agar peeroN, kuchh tum meN karaamaateN

[karaamaateN = miracles]

kal laR ga_iiN kooche meN aaNkhoN se merii aaNkheN
kuchh zor hii aapas meN do do hu_iiN samaaghaateN

[samaaghaateN = thrust and parry]

is ishq ke kooche meN zaahid too sambhal chalanaa
kuchh pesh na jaawengii yahaaN terii manaajaateN

[manaajaateN = pleas/prayers]

Saudaa ko agar poochho ahawaal hai ye us kaa
do chaar ghaRii ronaa, do chaar ghaRii baateN
