dil dasht hai to ashk-fishani karenge hum
ye kaam bas bara-e-rawani karenge hum

baithe hain shamiyana-e-shab-rang mein udas
rang-e-rukh-e-shafaq abhi dhani karenge hum

pichhle baras ke ishq pe hum ko yaqin tha
agle baras ka ishq gumani karenge hum

chahen to is ko tegh-e-khamoshi se kat den
lekin junun se jang zabani karenge hum

thahre hain sail-e-harf-o-maani mein dam-ba-khud
zahir kabhi to dard-e-nihani karenge hum

qamat pe apni naz kare koh-e-sham-e-gham
ghabra ke aaj marsiya-khwani karenge hum

dariya ki samt bhagte jaenge sari umr
aakhir mein apni pyas ko pani karenge hum
