Kaasid ke aate aate khat ek aur likh rakhun
Main jaanta hoon ko woh likhenge jawaab main
Kab se hoon kya bataaoon jahaan-e-kharaab mein
Kab se hoon kya bataaoon jahaan-e-kharaab mein
Shab haaye hizr ko bhi rakhoon gar hisaab mein
Taakhir na intezaar mein neend aaye umr bhar
Taakhir na intezaar mein neend aaye umr bhar
Aane ka ehed kar gaye aaye jo khwaab mein
Kab se hoon kya bataaoon jahaan-e-kharaab mein
Qaasid ke aate aate khat ik aur likh rakhoon
Qaasid ke aate aate khat ik aur likh rakhoon
Main jaanta hoon jo wo likhenge jawaab mein
Kab se hoon kya bataaoon jahaan-e-kharaab mein.
