soch mein gum be-karan pahnaiyan
ishq hai aur hijr ki tanhaiyan

raat kahti hai ki katne ki nahin
dard kahta hai karam-farmaiyan

bain karti hai darichon mein hawa
raqs karti hain siyah parchhaiyan

khamushi jaise koi aah-e-tawil
siskiyan leti hui tanhaiyan

kaun tu hai kaun main kaisi wafa
hasil-e-hasti hain kuchh ruswaiyan

yaad se teri sukun yun aa gaya
subh dam jaise chalen purwaiyan
