Rang tha roshni tha qaamat tha..

Rang tha roshni tha qaamat tha,
Jis pe hum mar mitte qayaamat tha,

Khush-jamaalon main dhoom thi apni,
Naam uss ka bi wajah-e-shohrat tha,

Paas-e-awaargi humen bhi bohat,
Us ko bhi aitraaf-e-wehshat tha,

Hum bhi takraar ke na they huugar,
Woh bhi na-aashnaaye hujjat tha,

Khawb tabeer ban ke aaye they,
Kya ajjab mausam-e-rafaaqat tha,

Apne lehje ka baank-pan saara,
Us ke pindaar ki amaanat tha,

Us ke kundan badan ka roop saruup,
Hussn-e-ehsaas ki badolat tha,

Aik ik saans qurbaton ka gawaah,
Har nafss lamhaa ghaneemat tha,

Aur phir yuun hua ke toot geya,
Woh jo ik rishtaa mohabba tha..
