ye raat bhayanak hijr ki hai kaTenge baDe aalam se hum

yahi mauqa hai zamane se guzar jaane ka

bhaga to bahut tha maut se main kam-baKHt ne lekin aan liya

jab kisi ne haal puchha ro diya

gham-e-firaq mai o jam ka KHayal aaya

shab ko meri chashm-e-hasrat ka sab dard-e-dil un se kah jaana

tamam umr namak-KHwar the zamin ke hum

KHizar kya hum to is jine mein bazi sab se jite hain

ab bhi ek umr pe jine ka na andaz aaya

ghaflat mein hui auqat basar ai umr-e-gurezan kuchh na kiya

musibat jis se zail ho rahi saman kar dega

na dil apna na gham apna na koi gham-gusar apna

ho ke KHush naz hum aison ke uThane wala

teri zulfen ghair agar suljhaega

chust kamar ka kya sabab tang qaba ki wajh kya
