The original poem by the poet Sahir Ludhianvi. Its in urdu and a rare one to find!
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khyal aata hai
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khyal aata hai
Ke zindagi teri zulfon ki naram chhaaon mein guzarne paati
To shahdaab ho bhi sakti thi
Ye teergi jo meri zees ka mukkaddar hai
Teri nazar ki shuaaon mein kho bhi sakti thi
Ajab na tha ke main begaana-e-alam reh kar
Tere Jamaal ki raanaion mein kho rehta
Tere gudaas badan teri neembaand aankhein
Inhi haseen hassen fasaanon mein main kho rehta
Pukarti mujhe jab talkhiyan zamane ki
Tere labon se halaawat ke ghoont pi leta
Haya cheekthi firti barhe-na-sur
Aur mein ghaneri zulfon ke saaye mein chhup ke jee leta
Magar yeh ho na saka aur ab yeh aalam hai
Ke tu nahi tera gam teri juus-t-juu bhi nahi
Guzar rahi kuchh is tarah se zindagi meri
Jaise isse kisi ke sahare ki aarzoo bhi nahi
Zamane bhar ke dukhon ko laga chukka hun gale
Guzar raha hun kuchh anjani reh-guzaron se
