itne din ke baad tu aaya hai aaj
sochta hun kis tarah tujh se milun

mere andar jag uthi ek chandni
main zamin se aasman tak ang hun

aur ujla ho gaya qurbat ka chand
aur gahra ho gaya tera fusun

ai sarapa rang-nikhat tu bata
kis dhanak se tera pairahan banun

sare gul-bute tar-o-taza hue
dur tak pahunchi hai meri mauj-e-khun

kar rahe hain lamhe lamhe ka hisab
mil ke phir baithe hain yaran-e-junun

dasht-e-gham ki dhup mein mujh par khula
main khud apna saya-e-diwar hun

naz kar khud par ki tu hai be-shumar
qadr kar meri ki main bas ek hun
