Shouq ka rung bujh gaya, yad kay zakham bher gaey
Keya mairi fasal hu chuki, keya maire din guzar gaey
Ham bhee hejab der hejab chhup na sakay, mager rahay
Woh bhee hujoom der hujoom reh na sakay, mager gaey
Rahguzer E khayal main dosh ba dosh thay jo log
Waqt kee gurd O baad main janay kahan bekhar gaey
Shaam hey ketni bay tapak, shehar hey ketna sahmnak
Ham nafaso kahan ho tum, janay yeh sub kedhar gaey
Aaj kee rat hey ajeeb, koi nahee maire kareeb
Aaj sub apnay ghar rahay, aaj sub apnay ghar gaey
Hifz e hyat ka khayal ham ko bohat bura laga
Pas ba hujum e ma rekaa, jan kay bay sipar gaey
Men tou safun kay dermiyan, kub say para hoon nim-jan
Maire tamam jan-nisar maire leye tou mer gaey
Rounak e bazam e zendagi, turfaa hain taire log bhee
Aik to kabhee na aaye thay, aaye tou rooth ker gaey
Khush nafasan e bay nawa, bay khabaran e khush ada
Teerah nasib thay mager shehar main naam ker gaey
Aap main ‘Joan Alia’ socheye ub dhara hey keya
Aap bhee ub sedhareye, aap key chara ger gaey
