ankhon men jo baat ho gai hai ik sharh-e-hayat ho gai hai jab dil ki vafat ho gai hai har

sar men sauda bhi nahin dil men tamanna bhi nahin lekin is tark-e-mohabbat ka bharosa bhi nahin dil ki ginti

sham-e-gham kuchh us nigah-e-naz ki baten karo be-khudi badhti chali hai raaz ki baten karo ye sukut-e-naz ye dil ki
