Ahal-e-daval me.n dhuum thii roz-e-sa_iid kii,
muflis ke dil me.n thii na kiran bhii ummiid kii,
itane me.n aur charKh ne maTTii paliid kii,
bachche ne muskuraa ke Khabar dii jo iid kii,

fart-e-mihan se nabz kii raftaar ruk ga_ii,
maa.N-baap kii nigaah uThii aur jhuk ga_ii,

aa.Nkhe.n jhukii.n ki dast-e-tihii par nazar ga_ii,
bachche ke val-valo.n kii dilo.n tak Khabar ga_ii,
zulf-e-sabaat Gam kii havaa se bikhar ga_ii,
barchhii sii ek dil se jigar tak utar ga_ii,

dono.n hujuum-e-Gam se ham-aaGosh ho gaye,
ik duusare ko dekh ke Khaamosh ho gaye.
