din se bichhdi hui baraat liye phirti hai
chand taron ko kahan raat liye phirti hai

ye kahin us ke mazalim ka mudawa hi na ho
ye jo patton ko hawa sath liye phirti hai

chalte chalte hi sahi baat to kar li jae
hum ko duniya mein yahi baat liye phirti hai

lamha lamha teri furqat mein pighalti hui umr
garmi-e-shauq-e-mulaqat liye phirti hai

warna hum shahr-e-gul-azar mein kab aate the
ye to hum ko bhari-barsat liye phirti hai

jis taraf se main guzarta bhi nahin tha pahle
ab wahin gardish-e-haalat liye phirti hai
