Dard-e-jigar aaj kam dekhtein hain

Ghamon mein ghire hain to gham dekhte hain,

Nazar ka ye apni karam dekhte hain.

Chhupen hain ujaalon mein kitnay andhere,

sahar mein magar shaam-e-gham dekhte hain.

Labon per bayan hai,magar goom zubaan hai,

kabhi bebasi bhi ye hum dekhte hain.

Huaa hai kahan par na waar-e-muqaddar,

Lage dil pe zakhmon ko hum dekhtey hain.

Mili hai dawa kya mere zakhm-e-dil ko,

ki aankein sanam ki bhi nam dekhtein hain.

Kareeb aan pahunchi hai ulfat ki manzil,

ke dard-e-jigar aaj kam dekhtein hain.
