Aata sukoon nahi hae is dard ke jahaan mein

Aata sukoon nahi hae is dard ke jahaan mein,
Ae dil! mujhey tu le
chal khwabon ke la makaan mein,

Jitna chaloon sanbhal ker utni hi
khaaoon thoker,
Kaisa yeh morr aaya jeevan ke kaarwaan mein,

Aflaak
se guzar ker, takraaey arsh se jo,
Aisi ho koi shiddat, ae dil! teri
fughaan mein,

Itna hujoom kab tha marney se pehle ghar mein,
Utri
hae chaandni bhi ab mere aashyaan mein,

Tum laut ker na aaey
lamhaat e zindagi mein,
Apna milan ho shayad ab doosre jahaan mein...
