kab tak dill ki khair manain kab tak rah dekhao gay
kab tak chain ki mohlat do gay kab tak yaad na aao gay
beeta deed umeed ka mosaam khak uri hai aankhon main
kab tak bhejo gay dard ka badal kab barkha barsao gay
ahd-e-wafa our tarq-e-mohabat jo chaho so karo
apny bas ki baat he kahan hai hum say kia manvao gay
kis visal ka soraj dekha per hijir ki raat dhali
gaysuon waly koun thy kia thy un ko kia jatlao gay
faiz dilon k bhag main hai gar basna bhi lut jana bhi
tum is husn k lutf-o-karam pay kitny din itrao gay.
