sham-e-firaq ab na puchh aai aur aa ke Tal gai

tum aae ho na shab-e-intizar guzri hai

sitam ki rasMein bahut thin lekin na thi teri anjuman se pahle

hamin se apni nawa ham-kalam hoti rahi

sabhi kuchh hai tera diya hua sabhi rahaten sabhi kulfaten

kis harf pe tu ne gosha-e-lab ai jaan-e-jahan ghammaz kiya

teri umid tera intizar jab se hai

hum sada hi aise the ki yun hi pazirai

aae kuchh abr kuchh sharab aae

kis shahr na shohra hua nadani-e-dil ka

sharh-e-firaq madh-e-lab-e-mushkbu karen

hum musafir yunhi masruf-e-safar jaenge

sahal yun rah-e-zindagi ki hai
