Ab ke us ki aankhon main,

Be’sabab udaasi thi,

Ab ke us ke chehrey par,

Dukh tha, be’hawaasi thi,

Ab ke yu’n mila mujh se,

Yu’n ghazal suni, jaisey,

Main bhi na’shanaasa hoon,

Wo bhi ajnabi jaisey,

Zard khaal o khad us ke,

So’gawaar daaman tha,

Ab ke us ke lehjey main,

Kitna khurdra’pan tha,

Wo ke umar bhar jis ne,

Sheh’r bhar ke loogo main,

Mujh ko ham’sukhan jana,

Khud se meh’ruban samjha,

Mujh ko Dilruba likha,

Ab ke sada kaaghaz par,

Surkh raoshnai se,

Us ne talkh lehjey main,

Merey naam se pehley,

Sirf Be’wafa likha.
