yaad ke shahr meri jaan se guzar
qurb ke aakhiri imkan se guzar

jal bujhi thi main tere khilne tak
ab meri khak-e-pareshan se guzar

aks bunne laga sahra tere
mere suraj rukh-e-taban se guzar

zakhm gar mere ho kuchh aur ata
han abas nashtar o paikan se guzar

uth chukin gul-sukhani ki rasmen
gosh-e-jaan harf-e-bahaaran se guzar

aakhiri lau na bujha jae kahin
shab-e-jaan mein ruke mehman se guzar

ai mere abr meri mitti ki
tishnagi par sar-e-mizhgan se guzar

aankh ab tirgi-e-gham se bujhi
ashk-e-khun jashn-e-charaghan se guzar
