Ai sitam-azma jafa kab tak

ai sitam-azma jafa kab tak
kushta-e-zindagi wafa kab tak

garmi-e-koshish-e-jafa kab tak
dawa-e-shohrat-e-wafa kab tak

ai dil-e-zohd-KHu riya kab tak
na-muradana muddaa kab tak

ek mein mil gaya KHuda mara
yun nibahega dusra kab tak

imtihan par ye imtihan ta-chand
aazma aazmaega kab tak

hasrat aaegi dam mein sau sau bar
ai hawas shor-e-marhaba kab tak

qudrat-e-sabr aaqibat kitni
jurat-e-taqat-azma kab tak

tum samajh jao meri KHamoshi
na kahun kahiye muddaa kab tak

kijiye ab mere nibah ki fikr
yar sabr-e-gurez-pa kab tak

KHwab mein bhi wo aaenge ta-chand
main mila bhi to yun mila kab tak

dil mein kab tak tumhaare khaTkunga
chashm-e-dushman mein meri ja kab tak

tandurusti-e-dil hai be-jaani
dard-e-be-dard ki dawa kab tak

tark ki saf us ne goyai
nargis-e-surma-sa KHafa kab tak

ai dil-e-be-qarar-o-be-aram
nala ta-chand ta-kuja kab tak

ai 'qalaq' wasl mein bhi hun nashad
tala-e-na-rasa rasa kab tak
