tumko hum KHak-nashinon ka KHayal aane tak

tere nisar na dekhi koi KHushi maine

KHatm shab qissa-e-muKHtasar na hui

soz-e-gham-e-firaq se dil ko bachae kaun

hukm-e-sayyaad hai ta-KHatm-e-tamasha-e-bahaar

unhen kyun phul dushman eid mein pahnae jate hain

kisi surat sahar nahin hoti

dekhiye ho gai badnam masihai bhi

abru to dikha dijiye shamshir se pahle

ye roz hashr ka aur shikwa-e-wafa ke liye

sajde tere kahne se main kar lun bhi to kya ho

kabhi jo aankh pe gesu-e-yar hota hai

yun tumhaare na-tawan-e-shauq manzil bhar chale

ye raste mein kis se mulaqat kar li

tum apni yaad se kah do na jae chhoD ke dil
