Bana rahi hay na mujh ko miTa rahi hay hwa,
maiN khak huN, mujhy dar dar uRa rahi hay hawa...

kisy thi yaad wo tafseel-e-raaeigani-e-umr,
ghubaar aaeiney sy kyuN haTa rahi hay hawa...

ye aag wo nahiN hay jo bujhaaey bujh jaye,
diay ki lau sy hatheli jala rahi hay hawa...

kahaN thikana kreN gey ye khushbu'oN k parind,
falak sy aakhri khaima uTha rahi hay hawa...

Moaaf krty rahy ham, her ik charagh ka qatl,
magar ye kya keh dareecha bujha rahi hay hawa...
