sawad-e-sham se ta-subh-e-be-kinar gai
tere liye to main har bar haar haar gai

kahan ke khwab ki aankhon se tere lams ke baad
hazar raat gai aur be-shumar gai

main misl-e-mausam-e-gham tere jism o jaan mein rahi
ki khud bikhar gai lekin tujhe nikhaar gai

kamal-e-kam-nigahi hai ye e'tibar tera
wahi nigah bahut thi jo dil ke par gai

ajab sa silsila-e-na-rasai sath raha
main sath rah ke bhi aksar use pukar gai

khabar nahin ki ye puchhun to kis se puchhun main
wahan talak main gai hun ki rahguzar gai
