Raah-e-wafa meiN shayd madaraat

Raah-e-wafa meiN shayd madaraat ho na ho
Apni tarah hi unkay bhi jazbaat ho na ho

SholoN meiN ishq ke yuhiN khamosh mar mito
Kahnay ko umr bhar kahiN koi baat ho na ho

Kuch to hua usay ke mere khat haiN be-jawab
Naa’ma bari ke shahr meiN haalaat ho na ho

Sab jaam us kay naam isee sham pi gaye
Ham hoN, ye bazm ho ke ye raat ho na ho

Hoti hai ashk-e-khoon se sairab ye zameeN
Ab kya khabar ke phir wahi barsaat ho na ho

Guzray haiN roz-o-shab mere jis intezaar meiN
Dast-e-falak ke paas woh khairaat ho na ho

Tanzil unkay saaray sitam ab bhoool jaeeyay
Ba’ad-e-shab-wesaal mulaaqaat ho na ho
