ye qatra-e-shabnam nahin ai soz-e-jigar aaj
dubi hui aae hai pasinon mein sahar aaj

be-wajh nahin fitrat-e-shokhi ka guzar aaj
tum aankh mila kar jo churaate ho nazar aaj

wo aae ayaadat ko to aai hai qaza bhi
mehman hue ek waqt mein do do mere ghar aaj

arman nikalne diye kis sokhta-dil ka
hai wasl ki shab bol na ai murgh-e-sahar aaj

wo kaba-e-dil todte hain sang-e-jafa se
barbaad hua jata hai allah ka ghar aaj

har ashk ke daman mein hai ek manzar-e-tufan
kya dub hi jaegi ye kashti-e-nazar aaj

dubi hui nabzen ye pata deti hain mujh ko
ai 'auj' na hogi shab-e-furqat ki sahar aaj
