hum ne shab-e-firaq jo aansu bahae hain
wo aasman pe kahkashan ban ke chhae hain

madhosh hum hue to wo tashrif lae hain
aise bhi zindagi mein kai waqt aae hain

badla hai jab mizaj nasim-e-bahaar ka
hum ne qadam qadam pe bagule uthae hain

kya aap jalwa-rez hain meri nigah mein
ya phir meri nigah ne parde uthae hain

mahrum rakh na apni tajalli se ai khuda
musa ki tarah dida-o-dil hum bhi lae hain

aah-e-firaq dagh-e-tamanna junun-e-shauq
jitne charagh hain teri mahfil se aae hain

taswir-e-'dard' khud hain magar is ka kya ilaj
sare jahan ke gham ko gham-e-dil banae hain
