Tere maathay pe jab tak bal raha hai
Ujaala aankh se oojhal raha hai
Samaatay kia nazar mein chaand taarey?
Tasawur mein tera aanchal raha hai
Teri shaan-e-taghaaful ko khabar kia
Koi tere liye be-kal raha hai
Shikaayat hai gham-e-dauraan ko mujh se
Ke dil mein kiun tera gham pal raha hai
Taajub hai sitam ki aandion mein
Charaagh-e-dil abhi tak jal raha hai
Lahoo royein gi magrib ki fizaayein
Badi tezi se sooraj dhal raha hai
Zamaana thak gaya, jaalib hee tanha
Wafaa ke raastay pe chal raha hai
