ye ajeb fasl-e-firaq hai,

[arsa]

ye ajeeb fasl-e-firaq hai!
k na lab pe hurfe talab koi
na udasion ka sabab koi
na hujoom-e-derd k shoq main!
koi zakham ab k hara hoa
na kaman badast ado hoe
na malamat-e-saf-e-dostaan
pe ye dil kisi se khafa hoa

koi taar apne lebas ka
na hawa ne hum se talab kia
sar-e-rahguzer wafa berhi
na diya jalane ki arzoo
pe charha gham-e-do jahan
na koi maseeha na charager
na kisi kahayal ki justuju
na khalish kisi k wisaal ki
na thakan rah-o-mah-o saal ki

na dimagh rang rukh batan!
na talash lashker nasehan!!
wahi aik haal hai zabt ka
wahi aik chaal hai deher ki
wahi aik rang hai shoq ka
wahi aik rasm hai sheher ki,
na nazer main khof hai raat ka
na fiza main din ka hiraas hai

pe arz-e- haal sukhanwaran,
wahi humsukhan hai rafeeq-e-jan,
wahi hum shukhan jise dil kahen!
wo to youn bhi kub ka udas hai.
