KHizan ke jaur se waqif koi bahaar na ho

yaksan kabhi kisi ki na guzri zamane mein

kuchh zard zard patte nishan jo KHizan ke hain

hanuz dard-e-judai-e-yar baqi hai

wahshat thi hum the saya-e-diwar-e-yar tha

yar ki taswir hi dikhla de ai mani mujhe

salamat rahen dil mein ghar karne wale

lipaTti hai bahut yaad-e-watan jab daman-e-dil se

dard-e-dil roen kis ummid pe begane se

mujhe dil ki KHata par yas sharmana nahin aata

kaisi kaisi bastiyan do din mein viran ho gain

udasi chha gai chehre pe sham-e-mahfil ke

chalta nahin fareb kisi uzr-KHwah ka

charagh-e-zist bujha dil se ek dhuan nikla

dil ajab jalwa-e-ummid dikhata hai mujhe
