Woh qissa-e-gham sunaata raha mera zabt azmaata raha

Woh qissa-e-gham sunaata raha

Mera zabt azmaata raha

Aaj sar-e-baam woh apnay

Dil kay daagh dikhaata raha

Noha-e-dil-e-barbaad koi

Akheer-e-sab ko gaata raha

Kisi kay haath main teer thay

Koi zakham sehlaata raha

Woh sakoon ka mutlaashi tha

Aur mujhay dard bhaata raha

Us ki tanhai ka khyaal

Mujhay her pal stata raha

Kiya hai hijr-o-wisaal aakhir

Waqat mujhay samjhata raha

Bhulaanay se woh nahon bhula

Reh reh kay yaad aata raha

Raqabat ki intiha dekho

Suraj diya bhujhata raha

Khaak hui main jal jal kar

Zamana raakh uraata raha

Us ki aankh ka paani

Mujhay shab bhar rulaata raha
