maut jab sar dhun rahii thii mai.n na thaa ,

tuur par chherhaa thaa jis ne aap ko,
vo merii diivaangii thii mai.n na thaa ,

maikade ke morh par ruktii huii,
muddato.n kii tashnagii thii mai.n na thaa,

mai.n aur us Ghunchaa dahan kii aarzuu,
aarzuu kii sadgii thii mai.n na thaa ,

gesuuo.n ke saaye me.n aaraam-kash,
sar-barahnaa zindagii thii mai.n na thaa ,

dair-o-kaabaa me.n Adam hairat-farosh,
do jahaa.N kii bad-zanii thii mai.n na thaa.
