Kabhii aah lab pe machal ga_ii kabhii ashk aa.Nkh se Dhal gaye, 
vo tumhaare Gham ke chiraaGh hai.n kabhii bujh gaye kabhii jal gaye, 
mai.n Khayaal-o-Khvaab kii mahafile.n na baqadr-e-shauq sajaa sakaa, 
tumhaarii ik nazar ke saath hii mere sab iraade badal gaye, 
kabhii rang me.n kabhii ruup me.n kabhii chaa.Nv me.n kabhii dhuup me.n, 
kahii.n aafataab-e-nazar hai.n vo kahii.n maahataab me.n Dhal gaye ,
jo fanaa huye Gham-e-ishq me.n u.nhe.n zindagii kaa na Gham huaa, 
jo na apanii aag me.n jal sake vo paraa_ii aag me.n jal gaye, 
yaa u.nhe.n bhii merii tarah junuu.N to phir un me.n umjh me.n ye farq kyaa, 
mai.n giraft-e-Gham se na bach sakaa vo huduud-e-Gham se nikal gaye.
