us ne kyun sab se juda meri pazirai ki
maslahat-kosh thi har baat shanasai ki

zakhm-e-dil hum ne sajae to idhar bhi us ne
naz-o-andaz se jari sitam-arai ki

jism tarsha hua sanche mein dhala hai jaise
dast-e-azar ne qasam khai ho sannai ki

aisa sairab kiya us ne ki khud tishna-labi
ek sanad ban gai tarikh mein saqqai ki

shukr hai ai shab-e-hijran ki badi muddat par
ho gai dil se mulaqat bhi binai ki

shukriya tum ne bujhaya meri hasti ka charagh
tum saza-war nahin tum ne to achchhai ki
