Aik mulaaqat ka bas tum se bahaana chaaha

ham ne kab apne liye saara zamana chaha

Tum ne jo zakhm diye ham ko bataur-e-tohfa

chaadar-e-ashk mein har gham ko chhupana chaha

Main ne kab maangi hukumat ya koi takht ya taaj

zindagani mein faqat saath tumhara chaha

Tum ne daman ko pakad kar mujhe roka har dam

main ne jab jab bhi mohabbat se kinara chaha

-Afreen Fahmi Aafi

There are too many gatherings present in a single one,

Whoever you'll look closely at, will be alone.
