tum chaak-gareban ho hum bhi tahi-daman hain
tum hum se gurezan ho hum tum se gurezan hain

tum nok-e-qalam jaanan ek nazm-e-fughan likkho
jo bol na pao wo sab harf-e-nihan likkho

kuchh harf-e-dua likho kuchh bahr-e-khuda likho
jo naqsh hue dil par wo naqsh-e-wafa likho

phir yaad karoge tum jab pas na hoegi
aaghosh-e-lahad mein jab dam-saz ye soegi

dohraoge sab baaten jo tum se kaha karti
jo sunti tumhaari bhi kuchh apni kaha karti

ilzam bhi tum doge phir gardish-e-dauran ko
aur yaad karoge is khamosh nigahban ko
