**********************************************************************
Tumharay khat mein naya ik salaam kis ka tha,
Na tha rakeeb to aakhir woh naam kis ka tha !
[Whose new greeting was it in your letter,
If it was not a paramour, then whose name was it !]
Raha na dil mein woh be-dard aur dard raha,
Maqeem kaun hua hai maqaam kiska tha !
[That stone-hearted didn't stay in my heart,
but that pain stayed,
Whose destination it was, and who has reached that destination !]
Wafa karengay nibayengay baat maanaygay,
Tumhay bhi yaad hai kuch yeh kalaam kiska tha !
[We will be sincere, we will obey, and will
agree,
Do you also know who had said these things !]
Guzar gaya woh zamaana kahein to kis say
kahein,
Khayaal meray dil ko subah-o-shaam kis ka tha !
[That time has passed, and whom should we tell
if we have to tell,
Whose thought my heart had all morning and evening !]
Tumharay khat mein naya ik salaam kis ka
tha,
Na tha rakeeb to aakhir woh naam kis ka tha !
