haal khulta nahin jabinon se
ranj uthae hain jin qarinon se

raat aahista-gam utri hai
dard ke mahtab zinon se

hum ne socha na us ne jaana hai
dil bhi hote hain aabginon se

kaun lega sharar-e-jaan ka hisab
dast-e-imroz ke dafinon se

tu ne mizhgan utha ke dekha bhi
shahr khali na tha makinon se

aashna aashna payam aae
ajnabi ajnabi zaminon se

ji ko aaram aa gaya hai 'ada'
kabhi tufan kabhi safinon se
