dhoop k sailaab me
saya b ab behne lga
nakhl-e-sehraai ko sheeshe ki kabaa kehne lga

kis kadar sachai se
shook-e-gurezan tha usy
apne saaye ko b wo
apna khuda kehna lga

is tawatur se jigar pr
choor khaai hy k ab
her bhaly mosam me ye
ghamgeen sa rehne lga

shidat-e-jabat-e-gham me
kya se kya hoota hy wo
khoon-e-dil b ashk ban kr
ankh se behne lga

jab se daanish ho gya
rooz-e-jaza pr aitqaad
aadmi tab dasht-e-jan pr
hr sitam sehne lga
