Khoon-e-dil Se Kisht-e-ghum Ko Seenchta Rahta Hun Main

Khoon-e-dil se kisht-e-ghum ko seenchta rahta hun main,
Khaali kaghaz par lakeerein kheenchta rahta hun main,

Aaj se mujh par mukammal ho gaya deen-e-firaaq,
Haan tasawwur mein bhi ab tujh se juda rahta hun main,

Tu dayar-e-husn hai oonchi rahe teri faseel,
Main hun darwaza mohabbat ka, khula rahta hun main,

Shaam tak kheenche liye phirte hain is duniya ke kaam,
Subah tak farsh-e-nadamat par pada rahta hun main,

Haan kabhi mujh par bhi ho jaata hai mausam ka asar,
Haan kisi din shaaki-e-aab-o-hawa rahta hun main,

Ahl-e-duniya se ta'alluq qat'a hota hi nahin,
Bhool jaane par bhi soorat-aashna rahta hun main..!!
