le dida-e-tar jidhar gae hum
dabre jo the khushk bhar gae hum

tujh ishq mein roz-e-khush na dekha
dukh bharte hi bharte mar gae hum

tera jo sitam hai us ki tu jaan
apni thi sau khub kar gae hum

ye qita padhe tha soz-e-dil se
sauda ke jo raat ghar gae hum

jun shama labon par aa raha ji
tan tha so gudaz kar gae hum

itni bhi patang pesh-qadmi!
gar sham nahin sahar gae hum

hogi na kisi ko ye khabar bhi
us majlis se kidhar gae hum
