Dard itna tha k us raat

Dard itna tha k us raat
Dil-e-wehshi nay

Her rag-e-jaa.n say ulajhna chaha
Her bun'e mu say tapakna chaha

Aur kahi.n duur teray sehn'e chaman mein goya
Patta patta meray afsurda lahu mein dhul ker

Husn-e-mahtaab sai aazarda nazar aanay laga
Meray virana-e-tan mein goya

Saray dhuktay huay raisho.n ki tanabain khul ker
Silsala waar pata dainay lagi.n

Ruksat-e-kaafla-e-shauk ke tyaari ka
Aur jab yaad ke bujhti hui shammo.n mein nazar aaya kahi.n

Aik pal aakhri lamha teri dildari ka
Dard itna tha kay us say bhi guzarna chahaa
Hum nay chahaa bhi magar dil na thehrna chahaa
