barg-o-bar kahan ki yahan hain nangi shakhen tanha ped
biti ruton pe nauha-kunan hain nangi shakhen tanha ped

gulzaron mein kahan guzar hai hum patjhad ke maron ka
aao baithen chal ke jahan hain nangi shakhen tanha ped

laut ke ab wo aa na sakenge jin ke dam se bahaaran thi
yaad mein un ki mahw-e-fughan hain nangi shakhen tanha ped

hijr ke phaile lamhon mein hain bar-e-khatir sabza-o-gul
koi batao hum ko kahan hain nangi shakhen tanha ped

maut-o-hayat ki had se nikal kar saya shayad koi mile
apni to qismat mein nihan hain nangi shakhen tanha ped
