ek muddat se dard kam kam hai
jaane kis baat ka mujhe gham hai

jaane kyun dil ko be-qarari hai
jaane kyun aaj aankh pur-nam hai

wusat-e-tishnagi hai be-payan
aur pine ko sirf shabnam hai

teri aankhon ko chum lun lekin
kya karun dil ka hausla kam hai

husn ki mumlikat bahut mahdud
ishq ke sath ek aalam hai

sath hun tere ai gham-e-dauran
zulf-e-jaanan agarche barham hai
