Ajeeb wehshat taari hai mujh per tere bin..

Ajeeb wehshat taari hai mujh per tere bin,
Ke saans lena bhaari hai mujh pe tere bin,

Na jee saken na mar hi saken judaayi mein,
Yeh zulm kesa jaari hai mujh pe tere bin,

Na kuch dikhayi deta hai na soojjhay kuch,
Andher duniya saari hai mujh pe tere bin,

Ke chorr ker jis din se gaye ho tum mujhe,
Shadeed aah-o-zaari* hai mujh pe tere bin,

Main bhool betha hoon apne aap ko jana,
Teri ajaara-daari* hai mujh pe tere bin,

Sadaa guzaaron kese bahaar ke din mein,
Yeh zarb* yeh bhi kaari* hai mujh pe tere bin..
