waqt-e-rukhsat wo aansu bahane lage
dil dukhane ke manzar suhane lage

pursish-e-dard ko jab wo aane lage
zakhm-e-dil misl-e-gul muskurane lage

raat pal bhar ko palken jhapakne na din
subah hote hi aankhen churane lage

aankh bhar aai barkha ke pani ki jab
naw kaghaz ki bachche bahane lage

mere aansu the un ki hansi ka sabab
roi shabnam to gul muskurane lage
