har shai jahan ki gard-o-ghubar-e-KHayal hai

kahne ko to kya kya na dil-e-zar mein aae

ye to nahin ki hum pe sitam hi kabhi na the

gham-e-dauran gham-e-jaanan gham-e-jaan hai ki nahin

phir wahi qatl-e-mohabbat-zadagan hai ki jo tha

nashshe mein chashm-e-naz jo hansti nazar paDi

ye aur baat ki ye sehr besh-o-kam pe chala

tishna-labon ki nazr ko saughat chahiye

donon hathon mein uThae hue bhaari patthar

chheD kar tazkira-e-daur-e-jawani roya

pila ai giroh-e-suKHanwaran koi sher-e-tar gul-e-taza ras

arsa-e-zulmat-e-hayat kaTe

ye tamanna thi ki hum itne suKHnawar hote

ku-e-haram se nikli hai ku-e-butan ki rah

kahne ko yun to abr-e-karam qatra-zan hua
