Roman Urdu
Woh jo rehte thay pehlu mein, gulaab ki tarah
Jisay chaaha tha hum ne, gauhar-e-naayaab ki tarah
Un ki baahon mein maut bhi lage kamaal ki
Bichhray to zindagi bhi lagi azaab ki tarah
Woh deewana kar ke mera bura haal kar gaye
Rakha tha jisay dil mein, nawaab ki tarah
Woh zindagi ke haseen pehlu ki taabeer sa shakhs
Kar gaya meri hasti, bhayaanak khwaab ki tarah
Rashidؔ bana di jis ne zindagi, mushkil sawaal
Woh dhoondhega mujhe kaamil jawaab ki tarah

English Translation
The one who once stayed beside me, like a rose,
Whom I cherished like a rare and precious jewel.
Even death in their embrace would feel sublime,
But once they left, even life felt like a torment.
They drove me mad and left me in a wretched state,
The very one I had kept within my heart like a king.
That person, who was the very interpretation of the beautiful side of life,
Turned my entire existence into something like a terrifying dream.
The one who made life a difficult question for me,
Will one day search for me like a perfect answer.
