kyun ju-e-rawan aa ke yun aankhon mein khadi hai
lagta hai pahadon pe kahin barf padi hai

ai dard kabhi uth bhi sahi tangi-e-dil se
muddat se dar-e-dil pe koi yaad khadi hai

manzil ko chale ya kisi maqtal ko chale hain
har rah yun lagti hai ki zanjir padi hai

yunhi to nahin baith gae jhad ke daman
mahrumi-e-taqdir se ummid badi hai

do din ki mohabbat ne di ye hasti-e-jawed
ek pal bhi nahin katti abhi umr padi hai

yun hum ne nikali hai teri rah-e-mulaqat
yun hijr tere did ki barakat ki ghadi hai

har subh teri chashm-e-fusun-saz ka ghamza
har sham tere lab se hansi phut padi hai

din hai to hai mahka tere rukhsar ka ghaza
shab hai to teri mang sitaron se jadi hai
