ufuq-e-zist se ek aur sitara tuta
ek kiran aur hui raat ki zulmat mein asir

phir kisi naghma-e-betab ki lai saz se aazad hui
ek tabinda haqiqat ki jo thi raaz hui

sard paiman-e-wafa sard hui aatish-e-shauq
sard jazbaat ka tufan khamosh

sard tabinda nigahon ke sharar
sard-bar-kaifiyat-e-gham ki sulagti hui aag

jam pur-shor se gir jaane do nakaam tamannaon ki mai
farsh-e-mai-khana-e-ulfat pe ulat do saghar

sar-nigun band darichon mein ummidon ke diye gul kar do
dastan soz-o-mohabbat ki adhuri hai

magar
alamiya khatm hua

dil-shikan aakhiri manzar pe gira do parde
