JaaN lay kay talay shayad

Halqoom-e- sama’at maiN
Ug aay haiN ab kantay

Aawaz ka ek qatra
Lakin nahiN mil pata

Shabnam teray lehjay ki
Kis tan maiN utarti hai

Num teri hansi ka ab
Kis tan ko bhigoota hai

MaiN piyaas say baykal hooon
Or teray takalum ka!

Ek ghoont nahiN milta
Is qeht zada dil main

Ab kay na khulay shayad
Yay piyaas sama’at ki

JaaN lay kay talay shayad
