ज़िक्र* पे उनके जाने क्यों ठहर गया है समा
गुज़िश्ता* साअतें
फिर पढ़ने का जी करता है

जा-ब-जा* बिखरी नीम-जां* उन यादों को
ज़हन* में अपने फिर भरने का जी करता है

हकीकतों से आज मन वाबस्ता* नहीं
सराबों* को आब*
फिर समझने का जी करता है

नासेहा* सख्त* है , वो मेरा गम-ख्वार* नहीं
क़ैस* से कोई गुफ्तगू
फिर करने का जी करता है

बड़ी मशक़्क़त* से छोड़ी थी महफ़िल जिनकी
उनकी गलियों से फिर गुजरने का जी करता है।



ज़िक्र* - Mention ;  गुज़िश्ता* - Past, साअतों* - Period/Times ; 
जा-ब-जा* - Everywhere, ; नीम-जां* - Half dead, वाबस्ता* - attached
नासेहा* - counsellor ; सख्त* - Strict ;  गम-ख्वार* - Someone who understands pain
क़ैस*  - Synonym for Romeo , मशक़्क़त* - With a lot of pain



An attempt at a translation

Time ceased at the mention of his name
With an intense desire to read the past again

The memories that are strewn across life
I want to imbibe in my breaths again
.
Reality does not seem enticing in this moment
I want to get disillusioned by the mirage again

My counsellor does not empathise with me
I need a lover to talk about my pain again
( Here counsellor is the head and lover is the heart)

I had taken great pains to leave his abode
 Today I want to take a stroll on his streets again.
