kuchh naqsh teri yaad ke baqi hain abhi tak

be-KHudi mein jise hum samjhe hain tera daman

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

ek dard-e-hasti ne umr bhar rifaqat ki

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

kya kya faraghaten thin mayassar hayat ko

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

TuTa to aziz aur hua ahl-e-wafa ko

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

hum dard ke mare hi giran-jaan hain wagarna

tujhse mil ke bhi tera intizar rahta hai

jo ho sake to chale aao aaj meri taraf

betabi-e-hayat mein aasudgi bhi thi

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

tanhai ka sannaTa aur aati jati raaten
