husn jab mehr’baaN ho to kyaa keejiye

husn jab mehr’baaN ho to kyaa keejiye
ishq kii maGfirat kii du’aa keejiye

(mehr’baaN : generous; maGfirat : pardon, forgiveness)

is saliiqe se unse gilaa keejiye
jab gilaa keejiye haNs diyaa keejiye

duusroN par agar tabsiraa keejiye
saamne aaiinaa rakh liyaa keejiye

(tabsiraa : criticism)

ap sukh se haiN tark-e-talluq ke baad
itnii jaldii na ye faislaa keejiye

(tark-e-talluq : breaking off)

ko’ii dhokhaa na khaa jaaye merii tarah
aise khul ke na sabse milaa keejiye
