aaj kisii ne baato.n-baato.n me.n jab unakaa naam liyaa
dil ne jaise Thokar khaa_ii, dard ne ba.Dh kar thaam liyaa

raah-e-talab me.n chalate-chalate thak kar jab ham chuur huye
zulf kii ThaNDii chhaa.Nv me.n baiThe, pal do pal aaraam liyaa

diiwaaro.n ke saaye-saaye umr bitaa_ii diiwaane
muft me.n tan aasaanii-e-Gam kaa apane sar ilzaam liyaa

ghar se daaman jhaa.D ke nikale wahashat kaa saamaan na puuchh
yaanii gard-e-raah se hamane raKt-e-safar kaa kaam liyaa
