dilon ke rang ajab rabta hai kitni der
wo aashna hai magar aashna hai kitni der

nai hawa hai karen mishal-e-hawas raushan
ki sham-e-dard charagh-e-wafa hai kitni der

ab aarzu ko teri be-sada bhi hona hai
tere faqir ke lab par dua hai kitni der

ab us ko sochte hain aur hanste jate hain
ki tere gham se talluq raha hai kitni der

hai khushk chashma-e-sahra mariz wadi o koh
nigar-khana-e-ab-o-hawa hai kitni der

thithurte phul pe taswir-e-rang-o-bu kab tak
jhulasti shakh pe barg-e-hina hai kitni der
