dil to roe magar main gae jaun

maut ki si pur-sukun viraniyan

ye mulaqat luTe leti hai

gosha-e-bagh aur bazm-e-tarab

fida-e-manzil-e-be-jada hain KHuda rakkhe

git ke hathon luTa jata hun main

kisi KHayal mein madhosh ja raha tha main

faza hai nur ki barish se sim-gun is waqt

ye aarzuen ye josh-e-alam ye sail-e-nashat

tamam umr main aansu bahaunga aKHtar

paDha hai maine fasanon mein jis tarah aKHtar

jinko hai aish-e-dil mayassar, wo

zaKHm khane ke din gae lekin

subh ki tanwir ban kar aai wo nazuk-KHiram

umar bhar jine ki tohmat bhi uThegi ya-rab
