hai kahan wo saman
dard ke nur mein dhul ke nikhre hue jism-o-jaan

be-hisi ki chatanen giraati hui
rah sang-e-khar hatati hui

karb-e-takhliq ki naddiyan
ruh ke zakhm dhoti hui

tund jazbaat ki badliyan
aabshaar-e-rawan

wo mata-e-giran
roz-o-shab ki faromaya gardan mein kho gai

lazzat-e-wasl ki bekali
hijr-e-betab ki raushni

manzil-e-be-nishan ki kasak
an-sune git ki naghmagi

dasht-e-ayyam ke jaane kis mod par
ajnabi rahguzaron mein gum ho gai

dil gaya dil ki wo be-qarari gai
qalb-e-majruh ki sogwari gai

nala-e-shab gaya be-sabab ashk-bari gai
jagne ke jo aasar the so gae

subh-o-sham ajnabi ho gae
ai khuda

ai khuda
azhdaham-e-tijarat mein tu hi bata

khwab aankhon mein kaise basaenge hum
kaun si rah par

garm ashkon ke moti bichhaenge hum
aah kis aarzu ke liye

sar-e-mizhgan charagh-e-basirat jalaenge hum
ishq mein kis tasawwur ke

ab jaan se jaenge hum
