ajiib saanehaa mujh pe guzar gayaa yaaro
mai.n apane saaye se kal raat dar gayaa yaaro

har ek naqsh tamannaa kaa ho gayaa dhu.ndhalaa
har ek zaKm mere dil kaa bhar gayaa yaaro

bhaTak rahii thii jo kashtii vo garq-e-aab huii
chadhaa huaa thaa jo dariyaa utar gayaa yaaro

vo kaun thaa vo kahaa.N kaa thaa kyaa huaa thaa use
sunaa hai aaj koii shaKs mar gayaa yaaro

ye aa.Nkh hai ki nahii.n dekhaa kuchh sivaa tere

  kis-kis tarah se mujh ko na rusvaa kiyaa gayaa
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 
kis-kis tarah se mujh ko na rusvaa kiyaa gayaa 
Gairo.n kaa naam mere lahuu se likhaa gayaa 

nikalaa thaa mai.n sadaa-e-jaras kii talaash me.n 
bhuule se is sukuut ke seharaa me.n aa gayaa 

[sadaa-e-jaras=sound of bell; 
sukuut ke seharaa=desert of silence] 

kyo.n aaj us kaa zikr mujhe Khush na kar sakaa 
kyo.n aaj us kaa naam meraa dil dukhaa gayaa 

is haadase ko sun ke karegaa yaqii.n ko_ii 
suuraj ko ek jho.nkaa havaa kaa bujhaa gayaa
