phir ehtimam-e-talea-e-na-sazgar hai
phir imtihan-e-gardish-e-lail-o-nahaar hai

phir dil-nashin hai shewa-e-ruswai aah-ah
phir hae hae ruh rag-e-intizar hai

zabt-e-wafa ka phir ye taqaza ki han khamosh
lab par hai phir ye uzr ki dil be-qarar hai

tapka rahi hai rang-e-junun phir hawa-e-shauq
mauj-e-ghubar phir rag-e-abr-e-bahaar hai

phir naqsh-e-yas bol utha ai khusha-fareb
dast-e-hawas mein khama-e-jadu-nigar hai

sun lo pukare kahti hai phir masti-e-khayal
kah do nawed-e-wada-e-didar-e-yar hai

khakistar-e-khayal se chamke sharar-e-shauq
phir intizar-e-jumbish-e-daman-e-yar hai

phir josh-e-khwab-e-bakht-e-siyah ke phire hain din
phir main hun aur fasana-e-shab-ha-e-tar hai

be-rangiyon mein jalwa-e-sad-rang dekhna
khwab-e-adam bhi aaina-e-intizar hai

sab kuchh sahi 'wafa' magar itna bhi soch lo
aalam tilism-e-aina-e-eatibar hai
