markaz-e-jaan to wahi tu hai magar tere siwa

go faramoshi ki takmil hua chahti hai

kabhi to aisa hai jaise kahin pe kuchh bhi nahin

yaad bhi teri miT gai dil se

gunjaish-e-afsos nikal aati hai har roz

har ek aankh mein hoti hai muntazir koi aankh

bhar lae hain hum aankh mein rakhne ko muqabil

ye unT aur kisi ke hain dasht mera hai

kahin koi charagh jalta hai

ye dagh-e-ishq jo miTta bhi hai chamakta bhi hai

har ruKH hai kahin apne KHad-o-Khaal se bahar

firaq o wasl se haT kar koi rishta hamara hai

hum yaqinan yahan nahin honge

yun hi nimTa diya hai jis ko tu ne

tu kahin baiTh aur hukm chala
