aaj jalti hui har shama bujha di jae

gham se mansub karun dard ka rishta de dun

ab chhalakte hue saghar nahin dekhe jate

kaTi hai gham ki raat baDe ehtiram se

tum jo aaoge to mausam dusra ho jaega

fareb-e-nikhat-o-gulzar se bachao mujhe

KHushi ne mujhko Thukraya hai dard-o-gham ne pala hai

roke se kahin hadsa-e-waqt ruka hai

hamari aankh ne dekhe hain aise manzar bhi

lai hai kis maqam pe ye zindagi mujhe

ek khiDki gali ki khuli raat bhar

mustahiq wo lazzat-e-gham ka nahin
