hijr kī raat chhoḌ jaatī hai
nit-na.ī baat chhoḌ jaatī hai
ishq chaltā hai tā-abad lekin
zindagī saath chhoḌ jaatī hai
dil bayābānī saath rakhtā hai
aañkh barsāt chhoḌ jaatī hai
chaah kī ik ḳhusūsiyat hai ki ye
mustaqil maat chhoḌ jaatī hai
marhale is tarah ke bhī haiñ ki jab
zaat ko zaat chhoḌ jaatī hai
hijr kā koī nā koī pahlū
har mulāqāt chhoḌ jaatī hai
