Dil k sunsaan jazeeron ki Khaber laaye ga
Derd pehloo say judaa ho k kahaan jaaye ga

Kon hota hai kisi ka shab-e-tanhaai mein
Ghum-e-furqat hi Ghum-e-ishq ko behlaaye ga

Chaand k pehloo mein dam saadh k rotii hai kiran
Aaj taaron ka fusoon Khaak nazer aaye ga

Raakh mein aag dabi hai Ghum-e-mehroomi ki
Raakh ho ker bhi ye sholaa hamein sulgaaye ga

Waqt Khaamosh hai roothay huway yaaron ki terhan
Kon lou daytay huway zakhmon ko sehalaaye ga

Zindagi chal k zara mout ka dam-kham dekhein
Werna ye jazbaa lehad tak hamein lay jaaye ga.
