Wo sikaytein kahin kho gayin,
Wo wafa ka rang kahin dhal gaya,
Wo khwaab kitne haseen the,
Jinhe gam-rozgaar nigal gaya.

Uhin aaj roone ko dil kiya,
Muje maaf kar mere humnawan,
Tune hanth-hanth me liya,
Mera sabra moom sa pighal gaya.

Kabhi tune jiske vaade pe,
Kayi khat likhe they ummeed ke,
Abhi guzre saal ki baat hai,
Wo dharakta kagaz pyaar ka jal gaya.

Badi der se yahi soochta,
Main ruka hun yaadon ki kis dhoop mein,
Meri rooh khushboo se bhar gayi,
Mujhe kaun choo kar nikal gaya.

Kaheen sauk-e-shero sukun nahi,
Kisi ke dil me sabro-aman nahi,
Nayi roshni ke bahaaw mein,
Ye shaher sirey se badal gaya.
