Hr’simt gham e hijr kia toofan hein Raj,

Mat pooch kia hum kitne preshan hein Raj,

Har chehra nazar aata hai tasweer ki soorat,

Hum shehr kia loogon say bhi anjan hein Raj,

Jis shehr e mohubbat nay humein loot lia hai,

Us shehr se ab kooch kia imkan hein Raj,

kashti abhi umeed ki doobi to nahi hai…,

Phir kyun teri aankho mein ye toofan hein Raj,

Ker in ka adab, rakh inhein seenay say kaha ker?,

Ye dard, ye tanhaiyan mehmaan hein Raj.
