کچھ آنکھ بند ہوتے ہی آنکھیں سی کھل گئیں جی اک بلائے جان تھا اچھا ہوا گیا

kuchh aankh band hote hi aankhen si khul gayin ji ek balaa-e-jaan tha achha hua gaya

کہا میں نے بات وہ کوٹھے کی مرے دل سے صاف اتر گئی تو کہا کہ جانے مری بلا تمہیں یاد ہو کہ نہ یاد ہو

Kaha mein ne baat wo kothe ki mere dil se saaf utar gayi To kaha ke jaane meri balaa tumhein yaad ho ke na yaad ho
