dil par vafā kā bojh uThāte rahe haiñ ham apnā har imtiyāz miTāte rahe haiñ ham muñh par jo ye

yaad us kī hai kuchh aisī ki bisartī bhī nahīñ niiñd aatī bhī nahīñ raat guzartī bhī nahīñ zindagī hai

is dhuup se kyā gila hai mujh ko saa.e ne jalā diyā hai mujh ko maiñ nāla-e-sukūt sañg kā huuñ

ab kahāñ le ke chhupeñ uryāñ badan aur tan jalā dhuup aisī hai ki saa.e se bhī pairāhan jalā chhīn

havas-e-zulf-e-girah-gīr liye baiThe haiñ āyat-e-shauq kī tafsīr liye baiThe haiñ āsmāñ saath chalā ghar kī zamīñ duur huī tujh se
