kis-kis tarah se mujhako na rusvaa kiyaa gayaa
Gairo.n kaa naam mere lahuu se likhaa gayaa

nikalaa thaa mai.n sadaa-e-jaras kii talaash me.n
bhuule se is sukuut ke seharaa me.n aa gayaa

[sadaa = call/sound; jaras = bell; sukuut = silence]

kyo.n aaj usakaa zikr mujhe Khush na kar sakaa
kyo.n aaj usakaa naam meraa dil dukhaa gayaa

is haadase ko sunake karegaa yaqii.n ko_ii
suuraj ko ek jho.nkaa havaa kaa bujhaa gayaa
