wo juda mujh se ho gae mil ke
rah gae dil mein hausle dil ke

chal ke naqsh-e-qadam pe kaamil ke
hum qarib aa gae hain manzil ke

parda-poshi haya lab-e-khamosh
hain ye aadab un ki mahfil ke

un ke gham mein guzar hi jaenge
chand lamhe hain aur mushkil ke

bebasi be-kasi wafa-koshi
hain ye saman-e-musibat dil ke

bad-nasibi ki kashti-e-ummid
aa ke dubi hai pas sahil ke

khub karigari junun ne ki
chaak daman hue hain sil sil ke

jam-e-jam se bhi kuchh nahin banta
jab bigadte hain taur mahfil ke

tauq-e-wahshat pada jo gardan mein
silsile mil gae salasil ke

jin ko tufan bhi dubo na saka
kaam aae wo mauj-e-sahil ke

ashk-e-gham se bhi sham-e-gham main ne
dagh dhoe hain daman-e-dil ke

jin pe ehsan hain apne ai 'khushtar'
wo dagha kar rahe hain mil mil ke
