ai soz-e-ishq tu ne mujhe kya bana diya

rafta rafta ghair apni hi nazar mein ho gae

ye zindagi ke kaDe kos yaad aate hain

ye mana zindagi hai chaar din ki

lutf-o-sitam wafa jafa yas-o-umid qurb-o-bod

kahan itni KHabar umr-e-mohabbat kis tarah guzri

firaq dauD gai ruh si zamane mein

sarhad-e-ghaib tak tujhe saf milenge naqsh-e-pa

raat bhi nind bhi kahani bhi

malum hai mohabbat lekin usi ke hathon

koi samjhe to ek baat kahun

le uDi tujhko nigah-e-shauq kya jaane kahan

lai na aison-waison ko KHatir mein aaj tak

thi yun to sham-e-hijr magar pichhli raat ko

samajhna kam na hum ahl-e-zamin ko
