yaar thaa gulzaar thaa baad-e-sabaa thii main na thaa

laayaq-e-paa-bos-e-jaaN kyaa hinaa thii main na thaa

haath kyon baaNdhe mere chhallaa agar chorii huaa

ye saraapaa shoKhii-e-rang-e-hinaa thii main na thaa

main ne puuchhaa kyaa huaa vo aap kaa husn-o-shabaab

haNs ke bolaa vo sanam shaan-e-Khudaa thii main na thaa

main sisakataa rah gayaa aur mar gaye farahaad-o-qais

kyaa unhiin donon ke hisse men qazaa thii main na thaa
