Barq nazron ko
Baad-e-saba chaal ko
Aur zulfon ko kaali ghatta keh diya
Meri aankhon main
Sawan ki rut ayi jab
Deeda-e-yaar ko meh'kada keh diya
MAin kahan jurrat-e-lab'kushai kahan
Toba toba junoon ki yeh be'taabiyan
Ru-ba-ru jin kay nazrain bhi uth'ti na thein
Un kay munh pe unhain be'wafa keh diya
Un ki yaadon kay jo aakhri thay nishaan
Dil tarap'ta raha hum mitataay rahay
Khatt likhay thay jo us ne kabhi pyaar main
Un ko parhtay rahay aur jalaatay rahay
Un pe khushiyon kay baadal barastay rahay
Hasraton kay mujhay naag dastay rahay
Main idhar khilwaton main tarapta raha
Woh udhar mehfilon ko sajatay rahay
Wafa ki aakhri had se guzar liya jaye
Sitam garon kay mohallay main ghar liya jaye
Jidhar nigah uthay aap hi kay jalway hon
Jeeyein to aisay jeeyein warna mar liya jaye
MAin jidhar bhi gaya jis taraf bhi gaya
Rog hi rog thay sog hi sog thay
Woh bhi thay log jo zakham detay rahay
Woh bhi thay log jo zakham khaatay rahay
Kuch to murda parasti ka dastoor tha
Youn bhi her koi rasmon se majboor tha
Zinda logon kay ghar main andhera raha
Log qabron pe shamain jalatay rahya
Un ka koi paighaam na aya
Dil ka tarapna kaam na aya
Tu na mila to dar mila hai
Dar se tere na'kaam na aya
Husan ne ki jee bhar kay jafaein
Us pe magar ilzaam na aya
Tere baghair ae jaan-e-tamana
Dil ko kahin araam na aya
Haye woh pyaar kay pur'khatar silsalay
Uff woh na'kaamiyon kay kathan marhalay
Ghair to ghair hain un se shikwa hi kiya
Hum se apnay bhi nazrain churaatay rahay
Laakh samjhaya "sadiq" ne tum ko sanam
Aaj kal pyaar ki jins na'yaab hai
Paaglon ki tarah tum nagar dar nagar
Khaak galiyon main youn hi uraatay rahay
