wahi hain qatl-o-ghaarat aur wahi kohram hai saqi

raat jab TuT kar bikhar jae

sahra-e-la-hudud mein tishna-labi ki KHair

wo jo phul the teri yaad ke tah-e-dast-e-Khaar chale gae

jang-e-hayat-o-maut mein kya kya nahin hua

laga ke dhaDkan mein aag meri ba-rang-e-raqs-e-sharar gaya wo

sab hai fani yahan sansar mein kis ka kya hai

bikhra hun jab main KHud yahan koi mujhe girae kyun

sham aai hai liye hath mein yaadon ke charagh

mere zaKHmon meri ruswai ko wapas le le

hum bhi guzar gae yahan kuchh pal guzar ke

ek band ho gaya hai to kholenge bab aur

ashkon se kab miTe hain daman ke dagh yaro

jab bhi milte hain to jine ki dua dete hain

yun hi har baat pe hansne ka bahana aae
