Ek shakhs ko dekha tha taroon ki tarha hm ny

Ek shakhs ko chaha tha apno ki tarha hm ny,

Ek shakhs ko samja tha phoolon ki tarha hm ny

Wo shakhs qyamat tha kia karyn os ki batian,

Din os k liyay paida or os ki he thi ratain

Kab milta kisi sy tha hm sy thin mulakatin,

Rung os ka shahabi tha zulfoon may thin mayhkaryn

Ankhayn thin k jadu tha palkayn thin k talwaryn,

Dushman b ager daykhen tu jaan sy dil haryn

Kuch tm sy wo milta tha batoon may shbaahat thi,

Han tm sa he lagta tha shokhi may sharart may

Lagta b tum he sa tha dastour e muhabat may,

Wo shakhs hmy ek din apno ki tarha bohla

Taroon ki tarha doba pholoon ki tarha tota,

Phir hath na aya wo hm ny boht dohnda

Tm kis liyay chonky ho kab zikar tmhara hy,

Kab tm sy takaza hy kab tm sy shikayat hy

Ek taza hikayat hy soun loo tu inayaat hy,
