itane dinon ke baad tuu aayaa hai aaj

itane dinon ke baad tuu aayaa hai aaj
sochataa hun kis tarah tujh se milun

mere andar jaag uthii ik chandanii
main zamiin se aasaman tak ek ang hun

aur ujalaa ho gayaa qurbat kaa chand
aur gaharaa ho gayaa teraa fusun


ai saraapaa rang-o-nikahat tuu bataa
kis dhanak se teraa pairaahan bunun


saare gul_buute tar-o-taazaa hue
duur tak pahunchii hai merii mauj-e-Khun

kar rahe hain lamhe lamhe kaa hisaab
mil ke phir baiThe hain yaaraan-e-junun

dasht-e-Gam kii dhuup mein mujh par khulaa
main Khud apanaa saayaa-e-diivaar hun

naaz kar Khud par ki tuu hai beshumaar
qadr kar merii ki main bas ek hun
