kyun hamein maut ke paigham diye jate hain

tere ahl-e-dard ke roz-o-shab isi kashmakash mein guzar gae

jo hans hans ke har gham gawara kare hai

is iltifat par koi daman na tham le

na puchh kab se ye dam ghuT raha hai sine mein

aaj meri shab-e-furqat ki sahar aai hai

ilahi kash gham-e-ishq kaam kar jae

ba-wafai ki ada pane laga hun tujh mein

gale laga ke jo sunte the dil ki aahon ko

aaj jine ki kuchh ummid nazar aai hai

sahil pe lai aur safine Dubo diye

zara bhi jis ki wafa ka yaqin aaya hai
