kyā qayāmat hai vo qātil mujh meñ

mere ehsās kī sūrat Thahre

vaqt ke dajla-e-tūfānī meñ

aap ham mauja-e-ujlat Thahre

dostī ye hai ki ḳhushbū ke liye

rañg zindānī-e-sūrat Thahre

waqt ke dajla-e-tufani mein

aap hum mauja-e-ujlat Thahre

dosti ye hai ki KHushbu ke liye

tu hai KHurshid na main hun shabnam

kya mulaqat ki surat Thahre

uf ye guzre hue lamhon ka hujum

dar-o-diwar qayamat Thahre

kucha-gardan-e-junun misl-e-saba

zulf-e-awara ki qismat Thahre

ishq mein manzil aaram bhi thi

hum sar-e-kucha-e-wahshat Thahre

jab se 'ummid' gaya hai koi!!

lamhe sadiyon ki alamat Thahre
