wo mahtab jab us ghar se ghar badalne laga
sitare tut gae aasman jalne laga

thahar gae to na tha koi puchhne wala
jo hum chale to zamana bhi sath chalne laga

dayar-e-dard ki rasm-o-rah-e-wafa hai yahi
nigah dubi dahan bhi lahu ugalne laga

nishana-e-sitam-e-rozgar tha par ab
dukhon ka zahr mere jism-o-jaan mein palne laga

wo to raha na wo raste isi liye manzar
har ek wajud nae paikaron mein dhalne laga
