tere firaq mein ghutnon chali hai tanhai
khayal o khwab mein phuli-phali hai tanhai

tere khayal tere hijr ke wasile se
tasawwuraat mein hum se mili hai tanhai

jamal-e-yar mein khoya hua hai sannata
khayal-e-yar mein dubi hui hai tanhai

kisi ke shokh badan ki zaruraton ki tarah
tamam raat sulagti rahi hai tanhai

tumhaari zulf-e-moambar ka aasra le kar
hamari fikr o nazar mein pali hai tanhai

shab-e-firaq ke mare nahin ho tum parwaz
tumhaari fikr pe kyun jam gai hai tanhai
