E Daag Daag Ujaalaa, Ye Shab_Gaziidaa Sahar
Wo Intazaar Thaa Jis Kaa, Ye Wo Sahar To Nahiin

Ye Wo Sahar To Nahiin Jis Kii Aarazuu Lekar
Chale The Yaar Ki Mil Jaayegii Kahiin Na Kahiin
Falak Ke Dasht Men Taron Kii Aakharii Manzil
Kahiin To Hogaa Shab-E-Sust Mauj Kaa Saahil
Kahiin To Jaa Ke Rukegaa Safinaa-E-Gam-E-Dil
Jawaan Lahuu Kii Pur-Asaraar Shaaharaahon Se
Chale Jo Yaar To Daaman Pe Kitane Haath Pa.De
Dayaar-E-Husn Kii Be-Sabr Khwaab-Gaahon Se
Pukaratii Rahiin Baahen, Badan Bulaate Rahe
Bahut Aziiz Thii Lekin Rukh-E-Sahar Kii Lagan
Bahut Qariin Thaa Hasiinaan-E-Nuur Kaa Daaman
Subuk Subuk Thii Tamannaa, Dabii Dabii Thii Thakan

Sunaa Hai Ho Bhii Chukaa Hai Firaq-E-Zulmat-E-Nuur
Sunaa Hai Ho Bhii Chukaa Hai Wisaal-E-Manzil-O-Gaam
Badal Chukaa Hai Bahut Ahl-E-Dard Kaa Dastuur
Nishaat-E-Wasl Halaal-O-Azaab-E-Hijr-E-Haraam
Jigar Kii Aag, Nazar Kii Umang, Dil Kii Jalan
Kisii Pe Chaaraa-E-Hijraan Kaa Kuchh Asar Hii Nahiin
Kahaan Se Aaii Nigaar-E-Sabaa, Kidhar Ko Gaii
Abhii Chiraag-E-Sar-E-Rah Ko Kuchh Khabar Hii Nahiin
Abhii Garaani-E-Shab Men Kamii Nahiin Aaii
Najaat-E-Diida-O-Dil Kii Gha.Dii Nahiin Aaii
Chale Chalo Ki Wo Manzil Abhii Nahiin Aaii

Siikhii Yahiin Mere Dil-E-Kaafir Ne Bandagii
Rabb-E-Kariim Hai To Terii Rah_Guzar Men Hai

Maazii Men Jo Mazaa Merii Shaam-O-Sahar Men Thaa
Ab Vo Faqat Tasavvur-E-Shaam-O-Sahar Men Hai

Kyaa Jaane Kis Ko Kis Se Hai Ab Daad Kii Talab
Vo Gam Jo Mere Dil Men Hai Terii Nazar Men Hai

                          

Mushkil Hain Agar Haalaat Vahaan Dil Bech Aayen Jaan De Aayen
Dil Vaalo Kuuchaa-E-Jaanaan Men Kyaa Aise Bhii Haalaat Nahiin

Jis Dhaj Se Koii Maqtal Men Gayaa Vo Shaan Salaamat Rahatii Hai
Ye Jaan To Aanii Jaanii Hai Is Jaan Kii To Koii Baat Nahiin

Maidaan-E-Vafaa Darbaar Nahion Yaan Naam-O-Nasab Kii Puuchh Kahaan
Aashiq To Kisii Kaa Naam Nahiin Kuchh Ishq Kisii Kii Zaat Nahiin

Gar Baazii Ishq Kii Baazii Hai Jo Chaaho Lagaa Do Dar Kaisaa
Gar Jiit Gae To Kyaa Kahanaa Haare Bhii To Baazii Maat Nahiin
