lahu mein tairte phirte malal se kuchh hain
kabhi suno to dilon mein sawal se kuchh hain

main khud bhi dub raha hun har ek sitare mein
ki ye charagh mere hasb-e-haal se kuchh hain

gham-e-firaq se ek pal nazar nahin hatti
is aaine mein tere khadd-o-khal se kuchh hain

ek aur mauj ki ai sail-e-ishtibah abhi
hamari kisht-e-yaqin mein khayal se kuchh hain

tere firaq ki sadiyan tere visal ke pal
shumar-e-umr mein ye mah o sal se kuchh hain
