Kal sham wo shajr bhaut tanha sa tha

Kal sham wo shajr bhaut tanha sa tha
Uspe likha mera naam bhaut tanha sa tha

Kal chandni ko udaas zameen pe utartey dekha
Ashk gira kr wo boli chaand bhaut tanha sa tha

Aik shakhs jisey kamal tha tanhai mittane may
Aaj shehar-e-khamooshan may wo khud bhaut tanha sa tha

Mujhey rook kar rah may ghulaab thamaa dya jisney
Phoolon se gurezaan wo bhaut tanha sa tha

Wo maangtey thay anjumanain mujh se Qais
Kia deta main tu apni zaat may bhaut tanha sa tha
