bujh gai dil ki raushni rah dhuan dhuan hui
subah chale kahan se the sham hamein kahan hui

shauq ki rah-e-pur-khatar tai to kar aae hum magar
nazr-e-hawadis-e-safar daulat-e-jism-o-jaan hui

ishq-o-junun ke wardat dida-o-dil ke sanehat
biti hui har ek baat dur ki dastan hui

koi bhi ab nahin raha jis ko sharik-e-gham kahen
daur-e-tarab ki yaad bhi shamil-e-raftagan hui

lut gai kaise dafatan raushniyon ki anjuman
aa ke kahan se khema-zan zulmat-e-be-karan hui

kis ko khabar ki hum ne kya khwab bane hain umr-bhar
kis se kahen ki zindagi kis liye raegan hui

tarz-e-bayan to be-qayas the tere gham-zadon ke pas
bol uthi nigah-e-yas band agar zaban hui
