hehra hai sar-e-shaam kahin saaz kisi ney, 

Ya, door se di hai mujhey awaaz kisi ne, 

Totay huye taaron ko abhi jor raha tha, 

Hathon se mere cheen liya saaz kisi ne, 

Eik aahh to karli hai magar, soch raha hon, 

Pehchan na li ho meri awaz kisi ne, 

Hum kar na sakay jurrat-e-izhaar-e-Tamanna, 

Is tarha kiya, baat ka agaaz kisi ne, 

Geron pe inayat hai apno se shikayat, 

Samjhay na kabhi aap k andaaz kisi ne, 

Touba ki jabeein par hai nadamat ka pasina, 

Randaana uthai nigha-e-naaz kisi ne, 

Mujh pey aanso bhi amanat hain kisi ki, 

Paya na gum-e-dost ka ye raaz kisi ne.!
