nigah-e-shauq ko rukh par nisar hone do
ye rang laegi kya kya bahaar hone do

rahin-e-jazba-e-be-ikhtiyar hone do
jo ho raha hai koi be-qarar hone do

dil-e-hazin ko mere jalwa-zar hone do
khizan-nasib chaman mein bahaar hone do

dil-e-firaq-zada mein qarar hone do
dam-e-ajal to nigahon ko chaar hone do

karishme dekhna mar mar ke jine walon ke
tum apne kuche mein mera mazar hone do

tum apne wadon ki ifa karo umid nahin
jahan mein husn ko be-e'tibar hone do

shab-e-firaq mein lo chal basa tumhaara 'taj'
qayam-e-hashr tak ab intizar hone do
