Aaj Bhi Aap Aa Naheen Paaye!
Kaash, Chashmoun Ko Chain Aa Jaaye!!
Wasl Ki Nazm Kaa Miilaad-E-Nou,
Aaj Yuun Hi Na Fanaa Ho Jaaye?
Roshni Kaa Nahin Hai Naam Kaheen;
Kaash, Meyraa Wo Chaand Aa Jaaye!!
Shab Binaa Chaand Hai Jaisey Beywah,
Gam Ki Taareekiyoun Sey Murjhaaye!!
Barq Kaa Naam Naheen Hai; Leykin,
Har Taraf Syaah Abra Hain Chhaye!
Koochah-E-Dil Mein, Cheer Sannaataa,
Kaash, Dhiimii Sadaa-E-Paa Aaye?
Kaash, Halkee-See Eik Dastak Sey,
Dharhkanoun Mein Suroor Aa Jaaye!!
Raat Jagtee Hai: Jaagtaa Hoon Mein;
Kaash, Unko Hi Neend Aa Jaaye!!
Gungunaayegaa Koun Kaanoun Mein?
Un Ko Aanaa Thaa; Woh Naheen Aaye!!
Ab, -Ë—abd-‘, Iltijah Sey Kyaa Hogaa:
Zulm Kitney Na Zeest Ney Dhaaye?
