nok-e-har-khar par jo khun thahra
meri hasti mein to junun thahra

teri rahon ko chun liya dil ne
phir mere khwab ka zubun thahra

jaane kis dhun mein chal rahi thi hawa
khitta-e-yas mein sukun thahra

rang badle kai zamanon ne
dil ki haalat ki jun ka tun thahra

main hansi bhi main gidgidai bhi
wo na yun thahra aur na yun thahra

kya kaha tu ne dil-girafta se
parcham-e-as sar-nigun thahra

muzmahil tha koi bahut kal raat
phir tilismat ka fusun thahra
