dil mein leta hai chuTkiyan koi

kuchh to tanhai ki raaton mein sahaara hota

chaman walon se mujh sahra-nashin ki bud-o-bash achchhi

umr bhar ki talKH bedari ka saman ho gain

bhula baiThe ho hum ko aaj lekin ye samajh lena

gham-e-zamana ne majbur kar diya warna

chaman mein rahne walon se to hum sahra-nashin achchhe

mujhe hai etibar-e-wada lekin

mubarak mubarak naya sal aaya

kucha-e-husn chhuTa to hue ruswa-e-sharab

aarzu wasl ki rakhti hai pareshan kya kya

zindagi kitni masarrat se guzarti ya rab

ishq ko naghma-e-ummid suna de aa kar

kaam aa sakin na apni wafaen to kya karen

ai dil wo aashiqi ke fasane kidhar gae
