Chunne gaye jab se meri palkon se khwab saare..

Chunne gaye jab se meri palkon se khwab saare,

Pareshaan hain dil-o-nazar ke mahtaab saare,

Kis qadar an’khille aur be’rang they,

Dekho yeh sard mausmon ke gulaab saare,

Tum to thehre sehel raaston ke musaafir,

Woh raaste bhi to azaab saare,

Fareb-e-nazar to kabhi noor-e-nazar,

Bakhshe hain tu ne hi to khitaab saare,

Tumhen yaad hain chaahton ke puraane sabaq,

Hamari baari badal gaye nisaab saare,

Doori mein haayel yeh pardaa acha tha,

Jo barrha qurb ho gaye hatam hijaab saare,

Zindagi ki uljhan se uljhe hain jab se,

Bikhar gaye hain tamanaaon ke khawb saare,

Jab se mila woh hum se Rubaab,

Aankhon se utar aaye saraab saare..
