kuchh naqsh teri yaad ke baqi hain abhi tak

tanhai ka sannaTa aur aati jati raaten

aaj tak yaad hai wo sham-e-judai ka saman

tujhse mil ke bhi tera intizar rahta hai

dard-e-mahrumi-e-jawed bhi ek daulat hai

ab imtiyaz-e-zahir-o-baatin bhi miT gaya

be-KHudi mein jise hum samjhe hain tera daman

KHulus-e-niyat-e-rahbar pe munhasir hai azim

betabi-e-hayat mein aasudgi bhi thi

ek dard-e-hasti ne umr bhar rifaqat ki

wahi yaksaniyat-e-sham-o-sahar hai ki jo thi

kuchh aap ka gham kuchh gham-e-jaan kuchh gham-e-duniya

TuTa to aziz aur hua ahl-e-wafa ko

hum dard ke mare hi giran-jaan hain wagarna

kya kya faraghaten thin mayassar hayat ko
