ab to firaq-e-subh men bujhne lagi hayat
bar-e-ilah kitne pahar rah gai hai raat
har tirgi men tu ne utari hai raushni
ab khud utar ke aa ki siyah-tar hai kaenat
kuchh aine se rakkhe hue hain sar-e-vajud
aur in men apna jashn manati hai meri zaat
bole nahin vo harf jo iman men na the
likkhi nahin vo baat jo apni nahin thi baat
