Mujhko bhee tarqeeb sikhaa day yaar julaahay
Aqsar tujhko dekhaa hai ki taanaa bunatay
Jab koyi taaga toot gayaa yaa khatm huaa
Phir say baandh kay
Aur siraa koyi jod ke us main
Aagay bunanay lagatay ho
Teray is taanay mein lekin
ik bhee gaanth girah bunatar ki
Dekh nahin saktaa koyi
Mainay to ek baar bunaa thaa ek hee rishtaa
Lekin us kee saaree girahen
Saaf nazar aatee hain mere yaar julaahay
Mujhako bhee tarqeeb sikhaa de yaar julaahay
"Gulzaar "
Wonderful
