saKHt jaan-lewa hai sadgi mohabbat ki

butan-e-shahr ko ye etiraf ho ki na ho

KHun-e-dil sarf kar raha hun rawish

wo kahan dard jo dil mein tere mahdud raha

naqab-e-shab mein chhup kar kis ki yaad aai samajhte hain

laDkhaDana bhi hai takmil-e-safar ki tamhid

dil gawara nahin karta hai shikast-e-ummid

saKHt jaan-lewa hai sadgi mohabbat ki

zindagi mahw-e-KHud-arai thi

ab is se kya gharaz ye haram hai ki dair hai

zindagi mahw-e-KHud-arai thi

wo shaKHs apni jagah hai muraqqa-e-tahzib

dard aaluda-e-darman tha rawish

ishq KHud apni jagah mazhar-e-anwar-e-KHuda

jo rah ahl-e-KHirad ke liye hai la-mahdud
