Meri gardishon k wo din nahi

Meri gardishon k wo din nahi,

Mujhe yaad un ki jafa nahi,

Kabi mil gya to khushi hui,

Jo nahi mila to gila nahi,

Wohi sorshein hain wohi tarap,
wohi dard-o-gham,wohi soz-e-dil,

Yehi zindagi hy to kiya kahon,

Koi is se barh k saza nahi,

Unhein paa k bhi jo na pa saka,

Ye mere naseeb ki baat thi,

Wo hazaar mujh se juda rahe,

Mere dil se phir bhi juda nahi,

Wohi apni tarz-e-wafa rahi,

wohi un ki mashk-e-jafa rahi,

Wo zulm karte hain is tarah,

Jese mera koi Khuda nahi,

Ye mareez-e-ishq ka haal hy,

K  ye zindagi bhi wabaal hy,

Kabhi dard hy to dawa nahi,

Jo dawa mili to shifa nahi....
