harf-e-kun shah-e-rag-e-hu mein gum hai
ek jahan zauq-e-numu mein gum hai

apne hi husn ka akkas hai husn
aaina aaina-ru mein gum hai

kaif-amez hai kaifiyyat-e-haal
nashsha-e-mai ki subu mein gum hai

dard chikh uthta hai sine mein koi
zakhm jaise ki lahu mein gum hai

tir mat dekh mere zakhm ko dekh
yar-e-yar apna adu mein gum hai

khol mat band-e-qaba rahne de
chaak-e-daman rafu mein gum hai

nafa-e-ahu-e-tatar hai ishq
bu-e-gul apni hi bu mein gum hai

khak udti hai sar-e-sahil jo
tishnagi nahr-e-gulu mein gum hai

ye bhi kya khud hai ki khud mein bhi nahin
ye bhi kya main hai ki tu mein gum hai

mast hun apni ana mein main bhi
aur wo apni hi khu mein gum he
