Abhii kyaa kahen abhii kyaa sunaayen
ke sar-e-fasiil-e-sukuut-e-jaan
kuf-e-roz-o-shab pe sharar numaa
vo jo harf jarf charaagh thaa
use kis havaa ne bujhaa diyaa

kabhii lab hilenge to puuchhanaa

sar-e-sahar-e-ahad-e-visaal-e-dil
vo jo nikahaton kaa hujuum thaa
use dast-e-mauj-e-firaaq ne
tah-e-Khaak kab se milaa diyaa

kabhii gul khilenge to puuchhanaa

abhii kyaa kahen abhii kyaa sunaayen
yuun hii Khvaahishon ke fishaar men
kabhii be-sabab kabhii bekhalal
kahaan kaun kis se bichhad gayaa
kise kis ne kaise ganvaa diyaa

kabhii phir milenge to puuchhanaa
