ashk aankhon mein liye aaThon pahar dekhega kaun

apni tanhaiyon ke ghaar mein hun

sulagti ret pe tahrir jo kahani hai

har naghma-e-pur-dard har ek saz se pahle

kisi ki yaad rulae to kya kiya jae

ye haqiqat hai wo kamzor hua karti hain

luTa raha hun main lal-o-gohar andhere mein

ye bata de mujhko mere dil kise aawaz dun

jo meri aarzu nahin karta

ghamon ki dhup mein milte hain saeban ban kar

bulandi se kabhi wo aashnai kar nahin sakta

kar diya KHud ko samundar ke hawale humne

yaadon ke nasheman ko jalaya to nahin hai

tere jalwon ko ru-ba-ru kar ke

yun ilaj-e-dil bimar kiya jaega
