Mili na is liye dehleez-e-aagahi ab tak
Khirad na le saki wehshat pe bartari ab tak

Wo barf baari tahayyur ki tham chuki laikin
Badan pe phir bhi hay taari wo kapkapi ab tak

Wo aabgina-e-ummid kitna naazuk tha
Keh Tootne ki sada bhi nahiN suni ab tak

Na teergi na ujaala shafaq pe Thahray hay
BhaTak rahi hay shab-e-dil maiN roshni ab tak

Chaman maiN WARD ki khushbu simaT nahiN sakti
Ye aur baat hawa hi nahiN chali ab tak
