Mujhe rang o bu se kya raabitaah

Kabhi main bhi khilta gulaab tha

Hun main aandhiyon ka shikaar ab

Kabhi main bhi chaman shadaab tha

Khazaan aur veeraan bhi main

Simoom hun main, gard bhi

Jis shajar ka naam chhaaon tha

Woh Bakherta hai ab dard bhi

Waqt ki qaid men mohre sab

Jo aaj ghalib kal usi ki maat

Ghuroob  hua aftaab to kya

Muntazir hai chaandni raat

Ab mujh se na takraaye koi

Hawa bhi ab giraaye mujhe

Yaad e maazi azaab hai ‘sahil’

Jhonka naseem ka sataaye mujhe

Raabitah. Connection

Shaadaab. Verdant

Veeraan  Lone godforsaken desert

Simoom.  Hot breeze

Shajar. Tree

Mohre. Pawns

Ghalib. Triumphant

Ghuroob. To set. Drown

Yaad e maazi.   Nostalgia

Azaab.  Torment. Agony

Naseem.  Fresh breeze
