abhi kya kahen abhi kya sunayen

abhi kya kahen abhi kya sunayen 
ke sar-e-fasil-e-sukut-e-jan 
kuf-e-roz-o-shab pe sharar numa 
wo jo harf jarf charag tha 
use kis hawa ne bujha diya 

kabhi lab hilenge to puchna 

sar-e-sahar-e-ahad-e-wisal-e-dil 
wo jo nikahaton ka hujum tha 
use dast-e-mauj-e-firaq ne 
tah-e-khak kab se mila diya 

kabhi gul khilenge to puchna 

abhi kya kahen abhi kya sunayen 
yun hi khwahishon k fishar main 
kabhi be-sabab kabhi bekhalal 
kahan kaun kis se bichar gaya 
kise kis ne kaise ganwa diya 

kabhi phir milenge to puchna
