Gham-e-dauraan ne bhii siikhe Gham-e-jaanaan ke chalan
vahii sochii huii chaalen vahii besaakhtaapan

vahii iqraar men inkaar ke laakhon pahaluu
vahii honthon pe tabassum vahii abaruu pe shikan

kis ko dekhaa hai ki pindaar-e-nazar ke baavasaf
ek lamhe ke liye ruk gaii dil kii dhaDakan

kaun sii fasl men is baar mile hain tujh se
ham ko parvaah-e-girebaan hain na fikr-e-daaman

ab to chubhatii hai havaa barf ke maidaanon kii
un dinon jism ke ehasaas se jalataa thaa badan

aisii suunii to kabhii shaam-e-Ghariibaan bhii na thii
dil bujhe jaate hain ai tiiragii-e-subah-e-vatan
