bikhere zulf ruKH par kaun ye baala-e-baam aaya

aaj phir dasht koi aabla-pa mange hai

hujum-e-yas mein jina bhi ek azab hua

na puchho wajh meri chashm-e-tar ki

ek umr guzari hai tab raaz ye samjha hai

dil ka sukun aankh ka tara kise kahen

koi KHadsha hai na tufan bala kuchh bhi nahin

itna hai zindagi ka talluq KHushi ke sath

karb mein pyar ke naghmat sunain kaise

dard samjhe na koi dard ka darman samjhe

nikhat-o-rang na mausam ki hawa Thahri hai

harf mani se juda ho jaise

aaj mail-ba-karam ek but-e-ranai hai

ranj-e-na-asudgi karb-e-hunar dekhega kaun

rudad-e-shauq ye hai meri muKHtasar tamam
