Aaj tanhai ne thorha sa dilasa jo dia

aaj tanhai ne thorha sa dilasa jo dia ,,
kitne roothe huwe saathi mujhe yaad aaye hain ,,

mosam e wasl ki kirno ka wo anboh rawan,,
jis k hamrah kisi zohra jabeen ki doli ,,
aise utri thi k jaise koi aayat utre,,

hijr ki shaam k bikhre huwe kaajal ki lakeer ,,
jis ne aankhon k gaabon pe shafaq chirhki hai ,,
jaise khushbu kisi jangal men bar'hana thehre,,

khalqat e shehar ki jaanib se mlamat ka azaab,,
jis ne aksar mujhe ,,,,, hone,,,, ka yaqeen bakhsha hai ,,

dast e aada men wo khinchti hui tohmat ki kamaan,,
baarish e sang men khulti hui teeron ki dukaan ,,
mehrubaan dost,,,, rafaqat ka bharam rakhte huwe ,,
ajnabi log dil o jaan men qadam rakhte huwe ,,

aaj tanhai ne thorha sa dilasa jo dia ,,
kitne roothe huwe saathi mujhe yaad aaye hain,,
ab na pindaar e wafa hai na muhabbat ki jaza ,,
dast e aada ki kashish hai na rafeeqon ki saza ,,
takhta e daar ,, na mansab ,, na adalat ki khalish,,
ab to ek cheekh c honton men dabi rehti hai ,,

raas aaye ga kise dasht e bala mere baad ,?
Kon maange ga ujarhne ki duaa mere baad ?

Aaj tanhai ne thorha sa dilasa jo dia ,,
kitne roothe huwe saathi mujhe yaad aaye hain,.
