Kisi kali ne bhi dekha na ankh bhar ke mujhe,
guzar gai jars-e-gul udaas kar ke mujhe,

mai'n so raha tha kisi yad ke shabista'n mai'n,
jaga ke chor gaye qafile shahar ke mujhe,

mai'n ro raha tha muqaddar ki sakht raho'n mai'n,
urha ke le gaya jadu teri nazar ka mujhe,

mai'n teri dard ki tugyaniyo'n mai'n dub gaya,
pukarte rahe tare ubhar ubhar ke mujhe,

tere firaq ki rate'n kabhi na bhulengi,
maze mile inhi'n rato'n mai'n umr bhar ke mujhe,

zara si der thaharne de ai gham-e-duniya,
bula raha hai koi baam se utar ke mujhe,

phir aaj aai thi ik mauj-e-hawa-e-tarab,
suna gai hai fasane idhar-udhar ke mujhe.
