gham-e-firaq mein gar hum dahak rahe hote

gham-e-firaq mein gar hum dahak rahe hote
to aaftab se badh kar chamak rahe hote
badan ki sigdi ke sho'lon pe pak rahe hote
wo mere sath agar subh tak rahe hote


sukun milta hamein jo ye kash ho jata
ki hum bhi yar ke dil ki kasak rahe hote
teri nazar se utarna bhi ek ne'mat hai
wagarna aankhon mein sab ki khatak rahe hote


labon ka ras hamein milta to shahd hote hum
agar jo aankhon mein hote namak rahe hote
agar shajar jo na hote to hum se khush-qismat
kisi ki zulf kisi ki palak rahe hote


sarae chhodi to ghar tak pahunch sake hain hum
badan mein rahte to ab tak bhatak rahe hote
agar ye 'nur' miyan aadmi na hote to
wo manzilon se milati sadak rahe hote
