Ussay meri chup nay rulaa diya

Ussay apnya farda ki fikar thi

wo jo mara waqif-e-haall tha

wo jo us ki subh-e-urooj thi

wohi mera waqt-e-zawal tha

mera dard kaisay wo janta

meri baat kaisay wo manta

wo to khud fanaa k safar may

tha ussay rokna bhi mahaal tha,

kaahan jao gya mujhay chor kar main pooch pooch kar thak gaya

wo jawab mujh ko na day saka wo to khud sarapa-e-sawal tha

wo jo uss kay samnay agaya woh roshni main naha gaya

kiya ajab hayat-e-husn tha kiya ajab rang-e-jamal tha

dam-e-wapsi usay kia huwa na wo roshni na wo taazgi
wo sitara kaisay bikhar gaya wo to apni misaal app tha,

meray saath lag k wo ro diya mujah faqat itna wo keh saka
jissa janta tha may zindagi wo tu sirf wehm-o-khayal tha,

wo mila tu sadiyo k baad bhi meray lab pe koi gilaa na tha

Ussay meri chup nay rulaa diya jisay guftugoo mein kamaal tha.
