charāġh us ne bujhā bhī diyā jalā bhī diyā

ye merī qabr pe manzar nayā dikhā bhī diyā

charagh us ne bujha bhi diya jala bhi diya

ye meri qabr pe manzar naya dikha bhi diya

bandhan sā ik bañdhā thā rag-o-pai se jism meñ

marne ke ba.ad haath se motī bikhar ga.e

bandhan sa ek bandha tha rag-o-pai se jism mein

marne ke baad hath se moti bikhar gae

kabhī dar par kabhī hai raste meñ

nahīñ thaktī hai intizār se aañkh

kabhi dar par kabhi hai raste mein

nahin thakti hai intizar se aankh

zor se saañs jo letā huuñ to akasr shab-e-ġham

dil kī āvāz ajab dard bharī aatī hai

zor se sans jo leta hun to akasr shab-e-gham

dil ki aawaz ajab dard bhari aati hai

ye un kā khel to dekho ki ek kāġhaz par

likhā bhī naam mirā aur phir miTā bhī diyā

ye un ka khel to dekho ki ek kaghaz par

likha bhi nam mera aur phir miTa bhi diya
