Sach ka zaher..

har ek jalvaa-e-rangii.n merii nigaah me.n hai 
Gam-e-firaaq kii duniyaa dil-e-tabaah me.n hai 

kisii kii yaad-e-karam uf are ma'azallaah 
tabaah hoke bhii zaalim dil-e-tabaah me.n hai 

hazaar pardo.n me.n o chhupanevaale ye sun le 
teraa jamaal mere daaman-e-nigaah me.n hai 

jahaa.N me.n mujhe bhii naakaam-e-aarazuu kam hai 
na rang aah me.n hai aur na soz aah me.n hai
