Barg bhar bar mohabbat ka uThaya kab tha

barg bhar bar mohabbat ka uThaya kab tha
tum ne sine mein koi dard basaya kab tha

ab jo KHud se bhi juda ho ke phiro ho ban mein
tum ne basti mein koi dost banaya kab tha

naqd-e-ehsas ki insan ka bharam hota hai
hum ne khoya hai kahan aap ne paya kab tha

shahr ka shahr umaD aaya hai dil-jui ko
dushmanon ne bhi teri tarah sataya kab tha

sai-e-sahra-e-wafa sair-e-gulistan kab thi
dhup hi dhup thi har-su koi saya kab tha

aks kya kya the nigahon mein firozan 'ali'
par ye andaz-e-nazar waqt ko bhaya kab tha
