vaqt kai bosiida kaaGaz pe raqam hone ko hai

lamha-e-maujuud agle pal jo kam hone ko hai

merii vahshat se kabhii sairaab thaa dasht-e-junuu.n

ab mirii diivaangii kaa sar qalam hone ko hai

us ke jaanib-daar hai.n saare miraa ko.ii nahii.n

al-madad ai dil sar-e-pindaar KHam hone ko hai

zehn kahtaa hai ziyaada vaqt legaa kaar-e-ishq

dil to kahtaa hai ajii bas ek dam hone ko hai

ik nayaa tarz-e-sitam iijaad karnaa hai use

ik na.ii tarkiib se mujh pe sitam hone ko hai

ai KHudaa-e-mai-kada merii madad ko jald aa

teraa banda aashiq-e-dair-o-haram hone ko hai

zindagii kuchh roz se kyuu.n mehrbaa.n hai be-sabab

kyaa kisii aashob kaa ham pe karam hone ko hai

khii.nch laa.ii jaanib-e-dariyaa hame.n bhii tishnagii

ab guluu-e-KHushk kaa KHanjar pe ram hone ko hai
