Teri ummid, tera intezar jab se hai
Na shab ko din se shikayat na din ko shab se hai
Kisi ka dard ho karte haiN tere naam raqam
Gilaa hai jo bhi kisi se, tere sabab se hai
Hua hai jab se dil E na – saboor be – qaboo
Kalam tujh se nazar ko baRe adab se hai
Agar sharar hai to bhaRke, jo phool hai to khile
Tarah tarah ki talab, tere rang e lab se hai
KahaaN gaye shab E furqat ke jaagne wale
Sitaara e sehari hum-kalaam kab se hai
Na shab ko din se shikayat na din ko shab se hai
Kisi ka dard ho karte haiN tere naam raqam
Gilaa hai jo bhi kisi se, tere sabab se hai
Hua hai jab se dil E na – saboor be – qaboo
Kalam tujh se nazar ko baRe adab se hai
Agar sharar hai to bhaRke, jo phool hai to khile
Tarah tarah ki talab, tere rang e lab se hai
KahaaN gaye shab E furqat ke jaagne wale
Sitaara e sehari hum-kalaam kab se hai
