Fir kisi yaad ne shab bhar hai jagaaya mujhko,
Kya sazaa di hai mohabbat ne khudaaya mujhko,
Din ko aaraam hai na raat ko hai chain kabhi,
Jaane kis khaak se qudrat ne banaaya mujhko,
Dukh to ye hai ke zamaane mein mile gair sabhi,
Jo milaa hai woh milaa banke paraaya mujhko,
Jab koi bhi naa rahaa kandhaa mere rone ko
Ghar ki deewaro ne seene se lagaaya mujhko,
Yu to umeed-e-wafa tumse nahi hai koi,
Phir chiragho ki tarah kisne jalaaya mujhko,
Bewafa zindagi ne jab chhod diya hai tanhaa,
Maut ne pyaar se pehlu mein bithaaya mujhko,
Woh diya hoon jo mohabbat ne jalaaya tha kabhi,
Gham ki andhi ne sar-e-sham bujhaaya mujhko,
kaise bhoolunga wohi wasl ke lamhe,
Yaad aata raha zulfon ka hi saaya mujhko
