ye nikhato.n kii narm ravii ye havaa ye raat
yaad aa rahe hai.n ishq ke TuuTe ta'alluqaat 

maayuusiyo.n kii god me.n dam to.Dataa hai ishq
ab bhii ko_ii banaa le to biga.Dii nahii.n hai baat 

ik umr kaT ga_ii hai tere intazaar me.n
aise bhii hai.n ke kaT na sakii jin se ek raat 

ham ahal-e-intazaar ke aahaT pe kaan the
Tha.NDii havaa thii Gam thaa teraa Dhal chalii thii raat 

har saa_i-o-har amal me.n muhabbat kaa haath hai
taamiir-e-zi.ndagii ke samajh kuchh muharakaat 

ahal-e-razaa me.n shaan-e-baGaavat bhii ho zaraa
itanii bhii zi.ndagii na ho paaba.nd-e-rasmiyaat 

uTh ba.ndagii se maalik-e-taqadiir ban ke dekh
kyaa vasvasaa azaab kaa kyaa kaavish-e-nijaat 

mujh ko to Gam ne fursat-e-Gam bhii na dii "Firaq"
de fursat-e-hayaat na jaise Gam-e-hayaat
