dard ke sanche mein dhal kar rah gai
zindagi karwat badal kar rah gai

waqt-e-nazzara nigah-e-baryab
un ke jalwon mein machal kar rah gai

aankh mein aansu machal kar rah gae
mauj dariya mein uchhal kar rah gai

kya kiya ai bulbul-e-atish-nawa
aashiyan mein barq jal kar rah gai

un ka gham mujh ko wadiat ho gaya
sari duniya hath mal kar rah gai
