hum shab-e-gham jo ashk-bar rahe
chand tare bhi be-qarar rahe

kaun minnat-kash-e-bahaar rahe
han ye virana sazgar rahe

wo hi taskin ka sahaara the
main ne mana ki gham hazar rahe

kabhi gulshan kabhi bayaban mein
hum ba-har-haal be-qarar rahe

un ko rahat ki aarzu na hui
jo tere gham se ham-kanar rahe

wo pasheman nahin jafa kar ke
hum wafa kar ke sharmsar rahe
