sukut-e-sham mein gunji sada udasi ki

kyun tere sath rahin umr basar hone tak

wida-e-yar ka lamha Thahar gaya mujh mein

mujhe gharaz hai sitare na mahtab ke sath

sar-ba-sar yar ki marzi pe fida ho jaana

nazar uThaen to kya kya fasana banta hai

baiThe hain chain se kahin jaana to hai nahin

ye jo mujh par nikhaar hai sain

yahi dua hai yahi hai salam ishq ba-KHair

KHak uDti hai raat-bhar mujh mein

umr-bhar ishq kisi taur na kam ho aamin

raat aa baiThi hai pahlu mein sitaro taKHliya

main kar-amad hun ya be-kar hun main

sadaen dete hue aur KHak uDate hue
