bevafā.ī us ne kī merī vafā apnī jagah
ḳhūn-e-dil apnī jagah rañg-e-hinā apnī jagah

kitne chehre aa.e apnā nuur kho kar chal diye
hai magar raushan abhī tak aa.ina apnī jagah

zindagī ne us ko sāhil se sadā.eñ diiñ bahut
vaqt kā dariyā magar bahtā rahā apnī jagah

us kī mahfil se mujhe ab koī nisbat hī nahīñ
hai mirī tanhā.iyoñ kā silsila apnī jagah

ham charāġhoñ se kareñge dostī kī baat ab
ye añdheroñ ne kiyā hai faisla apnī jagah

to samundar aur merī zaat ik qatra sahī
terī rahmat har taraf merī duā apnī jagah

ab to mujh ko bhī sadā dete haiñ 'dānā' kah ke log
zindagī rahne de apnā mashvara apnī jagah

bewafai us ne ki meri wafa apni jagah
KHun-e-dil apni jagah rang-e-hina apni jagah

kitne chehre aae apna nur kho kar chal diye
hai magar raushan abhi tak aaina apni jagah

zindagi ne us ko sahil se sadaen din bahut
waqt ka dariya magar bahta raha apni jagah

us ki mahfil se mujhe ab koi nisbat hi nahin
hai meri tanhaiyon ka silsila apni jagah

hum charaghon se karenge dosti ki baat ab
ye andheron ne kiya hai faisla apni jagah

to samundar aur meri zat ek qatra sahi
teri rahmat har taraf meri dua apni jagah

ab to mujh ko bhi sada dete hain 'dana' kah ke log
zindagi rahne de apna mashwara apni jagah
