ai be-niyaz-e-shuq-e-farawan kahan hai tu
ai nighat-e-shamim-e-bahaaran kahan hai tu

ai bais-e-farogh-e-gulistan kahan hai tu
ai raunaq-e-wajud-e-khayaban kahan hai tu

pathra gai hain aankhen tere intizar mein
kuchh to bata ki ai mah-e-taban kahan hai tu

wo tere shauq-e-naghma-sarai ko kya hua
ai yar naghma-rez-o-ghazal-khwan kahan hai tu

tere baghair kuchh nahin lutf-e-sharab-o-sher
ai nighat-e-latif-e-khayaban kahan hai tu

han tere dam se raunaq-e-bazm-e-wajud thi
ai raushni-e-sham-e-farozan kahan hai tu

tere baghair khak-basar phir raha hun main
mere baghair sar-ba-gareban kahan hai tu
