soz-e-firaq dil mein chhupae hue hain hum
aur lab pe ek sukut sajae hue hain hum

jo aashna nahin hain mohabbat ki aanch se
kyun aas un se phir bhi lagae hue hain hum

shoale jo bujh chuke hain unhen tum hawa na do
dil mein hi ek aag lagae hue hain hum

tauba re in ki sang-dili aur shauq-e-did
kya khub haal apna banae hue hain hum

kahne ko dur hum se bahut dur wo sahi
par fasle dilon ke mitae hue hain hum

jate hain de ke wo to 'saba' rut khizaon ki
dil ke chaman to phir bhi khilae hue hain hum
