wafa ki raushni kam ho rahi hai
tabiat mail-e-gham ho rahi hai

siyah-bakhti ke sae badh rahe hain
sukun ki zulf barham ho rahi hai

ummiden yas mein dubi hui hain
tamanna bais-e-gham ho rahi hai

wafa ke nam ko tum bhi mita do
wafa tamhid-e-matam ho rahi hai

ye kis andaz se dekha hai tum ne
khushi se aankh pur-nam ho rahi hai

khalish ki manzilat hai mere dil mein
khalish se yaad paiham ho rahi hai

bahut se rang badlega zamana
abas tanzim-e-alam ho rahi hai

nafas ke tar tute ja rahe hain
ki chashm-e-'mauj' pur-nam ho rahi hai
