parda hata ke jab wo hasin muskuraega
bijli hamare hosh-o-khirad par giraega

kya thi khabar ki tark-e-talluq ke baad bhi
hum ko wo shokh parda-nashin yaad aaega

ummid-o-arzu ki tabahi to dekh li
ab aur kya hamein ye muqaddar dikhaega

ai qalb-e-zar sabr-o-tahammul se kaam le
kab tak kisi ki yaad mein aansu bahaega

meri zaban se sun na sake wo agar to kya
rudad meri un ko zamana sunaega

jis raaz ko chhupa na sake qais-o-kohkan
ai qalb-e-gham-nasib tu kaise chhupaega

'nayyar' ghamon ki tez hawaon ke samne
kab tak khayal-o-khwab ki shama jalaega
