Paara Paara Hua Pairaahan-E-Jaan

wo unhein yaad karein jisane bhulaaya ho kabh
hamane unako na bhulaaya na kabhi yaad kiya

paara paara hua pairaahan-e-jaan
phir mujhe chhod gaye chaaraagaraan

koyi aahat, na ishaara, na saraab
kaisa viraan hai ye dasht-e-imkaan

vaqt ke sog mein lamhon ka juluus
jaise ik qaafilaa-e-nauhaagaraan

chaar-suu kaaq udaati hai hawa
astaraan, kaabaataraan, teg-e-ravaan

kaise ghabaraaye huye phirate hain
tere mohataaz tere dil-gazadaan
