shikwa na ho tasalsul-e-ah-o-fughan rahe
wo chahte hain aag na bhadke dhuan rahe

lail-o-nahaar pahle jo the ab kahan rahe
han yaad hai ki tum bhi kabhi mehrban rahe

qurbat mein aa pade the qayamat ke fasle
tanha the hum to qaul-o-qasam darmiyan rahe

har gam par hain dar-o-rasan ki sahulaten
ab jism-o-jaan lutao ki nam-o-nishan rahe

yun muskura ke tark-e-talluq ki guftugu
aisa sitam ki jis pe karam ka guman rahe

rahon ke pech-o-kham mein musafir bikhar gae
ab karwan qayam kare ya rawan rahe

khushbu-e-pairahan mein basa hai ruwan ruwan
wo hum se lakh dur rahe juzw-e-jaan rahe
