charagh-e-zist maddham hai abhi tu nam na kar aankhen
abhi ummid mein dam hai abhi tu nam na kar aankhen

kabhi to wasl ki chaaragari bhi kaam aaegi
abhi to hijr marham hai abhi tu nam na kar aankhen

abhi to samne baithi hun bilkul samne tere
abhi kis baat ka gham hai abhi tu nam na kar aankhen

abhi jo fikr hai teri use sabit to hone de
abhi yaron mein dam-kham hai abhi tu nam na kar aankhen

sarabon se abhi ummid ke jharne nahin phute
ajab tishna sa aalam hai abhi tu nam na kar aankhen

bahaaren hon na hon phir bhi chaman khali nahin rahta
ye mausam gham ka mausam hai abhi tu nam na kar aankhen

abhi manzar badalte hi badal jaenge sab chehre
bichhadte waqt ka gham hai abhi tu nam na kar aankhen

abhi ai bulbulo gao na naghme tum bahaaron ke
abhi to lutf-e-paiham hai abhi tu nam na kar aankhen
