jab se tu kaba-e-dil mein hai sanam ki surat
dair mujh ko nazar aata hai haram ki surat

is qadar chur hai aaina-e-ehsas mera
ab na wo rang-e-masarrat hai na gham ki surat

ye haqiqat hai mohabbat bhi asar karti hai
kabhi tiryak ki surat kabhi sam ki surat

ramish-o-rang se hai shahr-e-nigaran mamur
dil hai viran magar shahr-e-adam ki surat

is qadar waqt ke suraj ne tapaya 'athar'
ro diye dekh ke hum abr-e-karam ki surat
