aasman-e-yas par khoya sitara dhundhna
hai dil-e-azurda ko chehra tumhaara dhundhna

bahr-e-hasti se kahun ek pal zara ek pal thahar
ek aahista qadam bas hai kinara dhundhna

is gham-e-dauran ki tariki mein ai jaan-e-sahar
dil hamara kho gaya hai dil hamara dhundhna

ajnabi chehron ke pichhe hai chhipi rah aatma
un nazaron se udhar hai ek nazara dhundhna

ai shab-e-gham chhod de daman-sara hai ab mujhe
nind se uthna wo khwabida sharara dhundhna

ruh par bhaari raha bar-e-hayat-e-sharmsar
karwan mein ab na tum hum ko dobara dhundhna

rah-e-nau par gamzan ai shahsawar-e-tez-rau
barg-e-gor-e-kohna mein ek istiara dhundhna

wo talluq tujh se hai dil ko ki ai marg-e-aziz
rah mein aankhen bichha tera ishaara dhundhna
