phir koii aayaa dil-e-zaar nahii.n koii nahii.n

raharau hogaa kahii.n aur chalaa jaayegaa

Dhal chukii raat biKharane lagaa taaro.n kaa Gubaar

so gaii rastaa tak tak ke har ek rahaguzaar

ajanabii Khaak ne dhu.ndalaa diye qadamo.n ke suraaG

gul karo shame.N ba.Daa do mai-o-miinaa-o-ayaaG

apane beKhwaab kiwaa.Do.n ko muqaffal kar lo

ab yahaa.N koii nahii.n, koii nahii.n aayegaa
