ek din tamam farz ada kar diye gae
sare asir-e-zat riha kar diye gae

wo hi to gham-gusar hamare the shahr mein
sunte hain ab ke wo bhi khuda kar diye gae

do dil kisi bhi tarah na jab ho sake alag
do nam hi waraq pe juda kar diye gae

wo furqaton ke din the wo waqt-e-uruj tha
kitne hi zakhm dil ko kama kar diye gae

sham-e-siyah bas apna sa munh le ke rah gai
sare charagh nazr-e-hawa kar diye gae

kuchh gham-nasib ishq the kuchh gham-nasib zist
kuchh gham mizaj-e-dil pe ata kar diye gae

darkar ho gaya tha kahani mein kuchh naya
hum log is liye bhi juda kar diye gae

ek chehra-e-hasin mitane ki zid thi aur
aankhon ke sare rang fana kar diye gae

kuchh roz baad ho gae jab khugar-e-qafas
chupke se sab parinde riha kar diye gae
