wo masiha qabr par aata raha
main mue par roz ji jata raha

zindagi ki hum ne mar-mar ke basar
wo but-e-tarsa jo tarsata raha

wah bakht-e-na-rasa dekha tujhe
nama-bar se khat kahin jata raha

rah takte takte aakhir jaan gai
wo taghaful-kesh bas aata raha

dil to dene ko diya par ham-nashin
hath main mal mal ke pachhtata raha

dekh us ko ho gaya main be-khabar
dil yakayak hath se jata raha

kya kahun kis tarah furqat mein jiya
khun-e-dil pita to gham khata raha

raat bhar us barq-wash ki yaad mein
sail-e-ashk aankhon se barsata raha

dhundhta phirta hun us ko ja-ba-ja
dil khuda jaane kidhar jata raha

us masiha ki umid-e-wasl mein
sham jita subh mar jata raha

ishq ka 'rana' maraz hai la-dawa
kab suna tu ne ki wo jata raha
