Wo qisa-e-gham sunata raha.

Wo qisa-e-gham sunata raha.
Mera zabt azmata raha.

Aaj sar-e-bazam wo apne.
Dil k dagh dikhata raha.

Noha-e-dil-e-barbad koi.
Akhir-e-shab ko gata raha.

Kisi k hath min teer the.
Koi zakhm sehlata raha.

Wo sakun ka matlashi tha.
Aur mujhe dard bhata raha.

Us ki tanhai ka khayal.
Mujhe har pal satata raha.

Kya he hijar-o-wasal aakhir.
Waqt mujhe samjhata raha.

Bulane se wo nhi bhula.
Reh reh kar yad aata raha.

Raqabat ki intiha dekho.
Suraj diya bujhata raha.

Khak hoi min jal jal kar.
Zamana rakh urata raha.

Us ki aankh ka pani .
Mujhe shab bhar rulata raha.
