ajib dard ka rishta tha sab ke sab roe
shajar gira to parinde tamam shab roe

kisi ka bhi na charaghon ki samt dhyan gaya
shab-e-nashat wo kab kab bujhe the kab roe

hazar girya ke pahlu nikalne wale hain
use kaho ki wo yunhi na be-sabab roe

hamare zad-e-safar mein bhi dard rakkha gaya
so hum bhi tut ke roe safar mein jab roe

kisi ki aankh hi bhigi na sail-e-dard gaya
tumhaari yaad mein ab ke baras ajab roe

tere khayal ki lau hi safar mein kaam aai
mere charagh to lagta tha roe ab roe

kuchh apna dard hi 'tariq'-naim aisa tha
baghair mausam-e-girya bhi hum ghazab roe
