ai sham-e-hijr-e-yar miri tu gavahi de
main tere saath saath raha ghar nahin gaya

libas dekh ke itna hamen gharib na jaan
hamara gham tiri imlak se ziyada hai

isi liye to haar ka hua nahin malal tak
vo mere saath saath tha uruuj se zaval tak

chaman ujaDne vaalo tumhen khuda samjhe
tumhen na aa.i haya phuul to hamare ga.e

bazar-e-arzu men kaTi ja rahi hai umr
ham ko kharid le vo kharidar chahiye

dene vaale tu mujhe niind na de khvab to de
mujh ko mahtab se aage bhi kahin jaana hai

ai shaam-e-hijr-e-yaar miri tu gavaahi de
main tere saath saath rahaa ghar nahin gayaa

libaas dekh ke itnaa hamein gharib na jaan
hamaaraa gham tiri imlaak se ziyaada hai

isi liye to haar kaa huaa nahin malaal tak
vo mere saath saath thaa uruuj se zavaal tak

chaman ujaaDne vaalo tumhein khudaa samjhe
tumhein na aai hayaa phuul to hamaare gae

baazaar-e-aarzu mein kaTi jaa rahi hai umr
ham ko kharid le vo kharidaar chaahiye

dene vaale tu mujhe niind na de khvaab to de
mujh ko mahtaab se aage bhi kahin jaanaa hai
