Gham-e-dauran ne bhi seekhey

Gham-e-dauran’ ne bhi seekhey Gham-e-jaana k chalan

wohi sochi hui chalein’ wohi besaKhtapan

wohi iqrar mein inkaar k lakhon’ pehlu

wohi hon’ton’ pe tabassum wohi abaru pe shikan

...

kis ko dekhaa hai k pindaar-e-nazar ke baavasaf

ek lamhe ke liye ruk gai dil ki dharkan

kaun si fasl mein is baar mile hein tujh se

ham ko parvaah-e-gireban’ hey na fikr-e-daman

ab to chubhati hai hava barf ke maidaano ki

un dino jism ke ehasas se jalata tha badan
