itnee mudut baad miley ho
kin soochoun main ghum phirtey ho?

itnain kha ef kyun rehtey ho?
her aahat sey der jatey ho

taiz hawa nain mujh sey poocha
rait pey kia likhtey rehtey ho?

kash koiee hum sey bhee poochey
raat gaey tuk kyun jaagey ho?

main derya sey bhee derta houn
tum derya sey bhee gherey ho!

koun see baat hai tum main aisee
itnain achey kyun lugtey ho?

peechey murr ker kyun dekha tha
pather bun ker kia tuktey ho

jaoo jeet ka jashan manaoo
main jhota houn tum succhey ho

apnain sheher key sub loogoun sey
meree khatir kyun uljhay ho

kehnain ko rehtey ho dil main!
phir bhee kitnain door kharey ho

raat humain kuch yaad nahin tha
raat bhut hee yaad aaey ho

hum sey na poocho hijar key kissey
apnee kahoo ab tum kaisey ho?

muhsin tum budnam bhut ho
jaisey ho phir bhee achey ho

SELF-CONTENTMENT IS ONLY WITH THE REMEMBRANCE OF ALLAH.
