khuli wo zulf to pahli hasin raat hui

wo ahd-e-jawani wo KHarabaat ka aalam

ye kaisi sargoshi-e-azal saz-e-dil ke parde hila rahi hai

hans hans ke jam jam ko chhalka ke pi gaya

mohtat o hoshiyar to be-intiha hun main

wo jo tere faqir hote hain

wo suraj itna nazdik aa raha hai

sitaron ke aage jo aabaadiyan hain

mera iKHlas bhi ek wajh-e-dil-azari hai

taklif miT gai magar ehsas rah gaya

zaKHm dil ke agar siye hote

gham-e-mohabbat sata raha hai gham-e-zamana masal raha hai

aankhon se teri zulf ka saya nahin jata

mai-kada tha chandni thi main na tha

bhule se kabhi le jo koi nam hamara
