Lyrics by Ahmed Faraz


karuu.N na yaad magar kis tarah bhulaa_uu.N use
Gazal bahaanaa karuu.N aur gun_gunaa_uu.N use

wo Khaar-Khaar hai shaaKh-e-gulaab kii maanind
mai.n zaKhm-zaKhm huu.N phir bhii gale lagaa_uu.N use

                                                                       Khaar: Barb, Thistle, Thorn Shaakh: Branch, Bough, Dilemma, Difficulty, Objection, Offshoot, Province

ye log tazakare karate hai.n apane logo.n se
mai.n kaise baat karuu.N aur kahaa.N se laa_uu.N use
