Kisi haath nay kisi looh pay jo nahi likha

Kisi haath nay kisi looh pay jo nahi likha
Wohi aik hurf-e-guman hain hum

Khat-e-gumshuda main likhi gaiee
Koi ajnabi si zuban hain hum

Kisi aur khita-e-dard par jo guzar gaya
Usi waqt ki tag-o-taaz ka 

Koi be nishan sa nishan hain hum 
Kabhi apnay wahimay say nikal k dunia ko deakhiea

Tu na khul sakay k kahan hain hum
Meri jaan humari ya dastaan

Isi aasmaan ki chat talay
Isi kahkashaan k darmiyan

Kaiee baar likhi gaiee kaiee bar suni gaiee
Ya hadees nagm-e-bay sada

Kabhi surkh phoolon ki taiz khushboon main ruk gaiee
Kabhi aansoon main rawan hwee

Ya woh shame-e-sham-e-wisal ha
Jo tamaam raat jali kabhi 

Kabhi aik pal main dhuwan hwee
Kabhi roshni ka yakeen bani

Kabhi tarige ki gumaan hwee
Tu jo hogaya usay maan lay

K wo daag wo hain jo saath behroon 
K panioon say na dhul sakain gain

Hwa k rastay main urnay walay udas lamhay
Na ruk sakay hain na ruk sakain gain

Tu jo hogaya usay maan lay
