Tera Firaq Muqaddar Samajh Liya Humne

tira firaq muqaddar samajh liya ham ne

ab apne-ap ko patthar samajh liya ham ne

tumhari yaad ke palkon pe ashk raushan the

andheri shab ko munavvar samajh liya ham ne

ye ḳhud-farebi nahin hai to aur kya kahiye

har ek saa.e ko paikar samajh liya ham ne

sipurd kar diye saare huquq rahzan ko

ye kis zalil ko rahbar samajh liya ham ne

tamam jism thakavaT se chuur chuur hua

tab is zamin ko bistar samajh liya ham ne

hamari bhuul thi qad men bahut jo chhoTe the

unhen bhi qad ke barabar samajh liya ham ne

vo jis ne jaan aziyyat men Daal di ‘mashkur’

use hi jaan se baḌh kar samajh liya ham ne
