baad muddat ke ye hua malum
jo hai malum wo hai na-malum

kis ne khoe hain hosh kya malum
kaun kafir hai ye khuda malum

hum ko manzil ki hai talash bahut
go nahin us ka rasta malum

dil mein ek dard ki kasak si thi
ab hui us ki intiha malum

justaju-e-hazar ke ba-wasf
kuchh hua kuchh nahin hua malum

raaz-e-kaunain usi pe fash nahin
jis ne samjha ki ho gaya malum

us ko qudrat ne di giran-goshi
jis ko hai saz ki sada malum

dard se wasta hai dard se kaam
go hai is dard ki dawa malum

'arsh' wo mujh ko chhodte hi nahin
ab hui jurm ki saza malum
