Ham jo tareek rahon men mare gai

tere honton ke phoolon ki chahat men ham
daar ki khushk tahni pe ware gai
tere haton ki shammaon ki hasrat men ham
neem tareek rahon men mare gai

sooliyon per hamare labon se pare
tere honton ki lali lapakti rahi
teri zulfon ki masti barasti rahi
tere hathon ki chandi damakti rahi

jab ghuli teri rahon men sham-e-sitam
ham chale aai, laa-e jahan tak qadam
lab pe harf-e-ghazal, dil men qandeel-e-gham
apna gham tha gawahi tere husn ki
dekh qaim rahe is gawahi pe ham
Ham jo tareek rahon pe mare gai

narasai agar apni taqdeer thi
teri ulfat to apni hi tadbeer thi
kis ko shikwa hai gar shouq ke silsile
hijr ki qatalgahon se sab ja mile

qatalgahon se chun kar hamare alam
aur niklenge ushshaq ke qafile
jin ki rah-e-talab se hamare qadam
mukhtasar kar chale dard ke fasle
kar chale jin ki khatir jahangeer ham
jaan gawan kar teri dilbari ka bharam
Ham jo tareek rahon men mare gai
