Ek bas tuu hii nahii.n mujhse Khafaa ho baiThaa, 
mai.n ne jo sa.ng taraashaa vo Khudaa ho baiThaa ,

uTh ke ma.nzil hii agar aaye to shaayad kuchh ho, 
shauq-e-ma.nzil me.n meraa aabalaapaa ho baiThaa ,

masalahat chhin gaii quvvat-e-guftaar magar, 
kuchh na kahanaa hii meraa merii sadaa ho baiThaa, 

shukriyaa ae mere qaatil ae masiihaa mere, 
zahar jo tune diyaa thaa vo davaa ho baiThaa ,

jaane 'Shehzaad' ko min_jumlaa-e-aadaa paakar ,
huuk vo uTThii ke jii tan se judaa ho baiThaa .
