taq mein kaun rakh gaya ek diya aur ek phul
dhyan mein phir se jal utha ek diya aur ek phul

mere tumhaare darmiyan qatra-e-ashk raegan
pichhli ruton ka saneha ek diya aur ek phul

khwab hi khwab mein kati umr tamam jal bujhi
tera kaha mera suna ek diya aur ek phul

sham-e-firaq ki qasam aur to kuchh na pas tha
tere liye bacha liya ek diya aur ek phul

baam-e-murad tak mere hath na ja sake magar
der talak jala kiya ek diya aur ek phul

teri udas aankh se mere khamosh hont tak
harf-e-visal kya hua ek diya aur ek phul

jashn ki raat jab tere nam pe log chup se the
main ne yunhi utha liya ek diya aur ek phul
