Dar o dewaar pe shaklain si banane aayi..

Dar-o-dewaar pe shaklain si banane aayi,
Phir yeh barish meri tanhayi churaane aayi,

Zindagi baap ki maanind saza deti hai,
Reham-dil maaan ki tarah maut bachaane aayi,

Aaj kal phir dil-e-barbaad ki baaten hain wohi,
Hum to samjhe they ke kuch aqqal thikane ayi,

Dil main aahatt si hui rooh main dastak guunji,
Kis ki khushbuu yeh mere sirhaane aayi,

Mene jab pehle-pehal apna watan chorra tha,
Door tak mujhe ko aik awaaz bulaane aayi,

Teri maanind teri awaaz bhi zaalim nikli,
Jabb bhi aayi hai mera dil hi dukhane ayi..
