dil meñ hai talab aur duā aur tarah kī

hai ḳhāk-nashīnī kī sazā aur tarah kī

jab raakh se uTThegā kabhī ishq kā sho.ala

phir pā.egī ye ḳhaak shifā aur tarah kī

jaate hue mausam kī to pahchān yahī hai

dastak meñ mujhe degā sadā aur tarah kī

hai hijr kā pairāya-e-fan aur tarah kā

aur vasl-kahānī hai zarā aur tarah kī

shab bhī hai vahī ham bhī vahī tum bhī vahī ho

hai ab ke magar apnī sazā aur tarah kī
