hijr-e-jaanan mein ji se jaana hai
bas yahi maut ka bahana hai

kyun na barsaen ashk dida-e-tar
aatish-e-ishq ka bujhana hai

ho adu jis pe kijiye ehsan
kuchh ajab tarah ka zamana hai

yaad dilwa ke dastan-e-visal
aashiq-e-zar ko rulana hai

rakh dila roz-o-shab umid-e-visal
ranj-e-furqat agar bhulana hai

jaan jati hai jis jagah sab ki
usi kuche mein apna jaana hai

koi dam mein adam ko hun rahi
aa agar tujh ko ab bhi aana hai

khak-sari na chhodna 'rana'
ek din khak hi mein jaana hai
