| Kabhi Hum Se, Kabhi Ghairon Se Shanasaai Hai Baat Kehne Ki Nahin, Tu Bhi To Harjaai Hai
Sar-e-Faran Pe Kiya Deen Ko Kamil Tu Ne Ek Ishare Mein Hazaron Ke Liye Dil Tu Ne
Atish Andoz Kiya Ishq Ka Hasil Tu Ne Phoonk Di Garmi-e-Rukhsar Se Mehfil Tu Ne
Aaj Kyun Seene Humare Sharar Abad Nahin Hum Wohi Sokhta Saman Hain, Tujhe Yaad Nahin?
Wadi-e-Najd Mein Woh Shor-e-Silasil Na Raha Qais Diwana-e-Nazara Mehmil Na Raha | Must You too play the fickle flirt with us, with others, day by day, We cannot help the sinful thought which shame forbids our lips to say.
Upon the peak of Mount Faran Your glorious Faith You didst perfect— With one Divinest gesture drew a host of fervid first‐elect;
Your flaming Beauty filled the world and set a myriad hearts on fire; Then blew the quintessence of Love in Man to passion’s wild desire.
Ah, why within our deadened hearts that holy flame today leaps not? Though still those burnt‐out victims we which once we were, have You forgot?
Upon the dale of Nejd is stilled the clanging of the captive’s chains; To glimpse the camel‐litter, Qais no longer with his madness strains

Sar-e-Faran Pe Kiya, Deen Ko Kamil Tu Ne
Kabhi Hum Se, Kabhi Ghairon Se Shanasaai Hai
