خاک پر خاک کی ڈھیریاں رہ گئیں

Khaak par khaak ki dheriyaan reh gayeenAadmi uṭh gaye nekiyaan reh gayeen

Kis ki taaleem ka aakhiri saal thaChoorhiyaan bik gayeen baaliyaan reh gayeen

Ishq ik roop tha husn ki dhoop kaYaad kyun dhoop ki sakhtiyaan reh gayeen

Khoon mein ghul gayeen saanwli qurbateinTan mein tapti hui haddiyaan reh gayeen

Dard angoor ki bel the phal gayeGham kashon ke liye talkhiyaan reh gayeen

Arsa-e-fisq mein qismat-e-ishq meinHikmat aamez paspaaiyaan reh gayeen

Qumqumon ki tarah qahqahe jal bujheMez par chaay ki piyaaliyaan reh gayeen

Is bulandi pe hum ne paṛao kiyaJis ke aage faqat pastiyaan reh gayeen

Husn ke haath se aaina gir paṛaFarsh-e-pindaar par kurchiyaan reh gayeen

Hum ne kaaghaz ko bhi aaina kar diyaLekin apni siyah-bakhtiyaan reh gayeen
