umr kaTi buton ki aaDon mein

dua se kuchh na hua iltija se kuchh na hua

junun ke josh mein insan ruswa ho hi jata hai

parda-e-dard mein aaram baTa karte hain

ek naqsh-e-KHayal ru-ba-ru hai

mail-e-sohbat-e-aghyar to hum hain tum kaun

ab is se baDh ke kya nakaamiyan hongi muqaddar mein

kya kahun hasrat-e-didar ne kya kya khincha

humne pai lazzat-e-didar lekin dur se

jo mai dil se piye koi to phir raKHne nahin rahte

aish ke rang malalon se dabe jate hain

aatish-e-husn se ek aab hai ruKHsaron mein

jo puchha munh dikhane aap kab chilman se niklenge

ghurur-e-ulfat ki tarz-e-nazish ajab karishme dikha rahi hai

fasl-e-gul bhi taras ke kaTi hai
