kyuun ai gham-e-firaq ye kya baat ho gai
ham intizar-e-sub.h men the raat ho gai
bahke hue bhatakte hue karvan ki ḳhair
rahbar se rahzan ki mulaqat ho gai
divangi ki ḳhair na mangen to kya karen
divangi hi raz-e-inayat ho gai
sinon men soz-o-saz-e-mohabbat nahin raha
duniya rahin-e-gardish-e-halat ho gai
lo Dubton ne dekh liya naḳhuda ko aaj
taqrib kuchh to bahr-e-mulaqat ho gai
