haq-e-wafaa jo ham jataane lage
aap kuchh kah ke muskuraane lage

hamako jiinaa pa.Degaa furqat me.n
wo agar himmat aazamaane lage

Dar hai merii zubaa.N na khul jaaye
ab wo baate.n bahut bataane lage

jaan bachatii nazar nahii.n aatii
Gair ulfat bahut jataane lage

tumako karanaa pa.Degaa ujr wafaa
ham agar dard-e-dil sunaane lage

bahut mushkil hai shevaa-e-tasliim
ham bhii aaKir ko jii churaane lage

vaqt-e-ruKsat thaa saKt 'haalii' par
ham bhii baiThe the jab wo jaane lage
