Kab thehre ga dard aye dil kab raat bassar hogi,

Kab thehre ga dard aye dil kab raat bassar hogi,

Suntay thay woh aayen ge suntay thay

sehar hogi,

Kab jaan lahuu hogi kab ashk guhar hoga,

Kis din teri shunvaayi ae deedaa-e- tar hogi,

Kab mehke gi fassl-e-gull kab behke ga

maii-khaana,

Kab subhh-e-sukhann hogi kab shaamm-e-nazzar hogi,

Waayez hai na zahid hai naseh hai na qaatil hai,

Ab shehr main yaron ki kis tarah bassar hogi,

Kab tak abhi raah dekhen ae qaamat-e-jaanana,

Kab hashar muyayyan hai tujh ko to khabar hogi.
