toda jo main ne zabt kaha hae al-firaq
phir har taraf se shor utha hae al-firaq

shab le raha tha aakhiri sansen mariz-e-hijr
bola tabib nabz daba hae al-firaq

wahshat hi rah gai mere kamre mein tere ba'd
do pal ko bhi sukun na mila hae al-firaq

mazi ke kuchh nuqush khayalon mein aa ke ab
karte hain ek buland sada hae al-firaq

charcha hai aaj-kal ki kisi qabr par koi
kahte hue diwana gira hae al-firaq

padhte hue main karbala roya to aankh se
furqat mein aansu kahne laga hae al-firaq

hum aise log apni ibaadat mein hain magan
'alwi' hamein hai wird mila hae al-firaq
