Zikr-e-Sheb-e-Firaq sy Wahshat usy b thi!

Zikr-e-shab-e-fraq sy wahshat usy b thi
mairi terha kisi sy muhabbat usy b thi

Mujh ko b shouq tha ney chehron ki deed ka
rasta bedalny ki aadat sy b thi

Uss raat dair tak wo reha mehv-e-giftagu
masroof main b kam tha, fraghat usy b thi

mujh sy bicher k shehr main gul mil gia wo shakhs
halank shehr bher sy adavat usy b thi

wo mujh sy barh k zabt ka aadi ho gia
werna her aik sans qeyamat usy b thi

Sunta tha wo bhi sab sy purani kehaniyan
shaed refaqton ki zaroorat usy b thi

Tenha hua safer main to mujh per khula ye baid
saye sy pyaar, dhoop sy nafrat usy b thi

tum bhi khafa ho loog bhi burhum hein dosto

tum bhi khafa ho loog bhi burhum hein dosto
ab ho chala yaqin keh bouray hum hein dosto

kis ko hamare hal se nisbut hai kya karein
aankhein to dushmanooN ki bhi purnum hein dosto

apne siwa humaray na hoonay ka ghum kise
apni talaash mein to humein hum hein dosto

kuch aaj shaam hi se hai dil bhi bujha bujha
kuch shahr ke chiragh bhi mudhum hein dosto

iss shahr-e aarjo se bhi baahar nikal chalo
ab dil ki raunaqein bhi koi dum hein dosto

sub kuch sahi Faraz per itna zaroor hai
dunya mein aise loog bauhut kum hein dosto
