roz puja ke liye phul sajata hai salam

wo dil se tang aa ke aaj mahfil mein husn ki tamkanat ki KHatir

kabhi kabhi to suna hai hila diye hain mahal

meri maut ai saqi irtiqa hai hasti ka

yun hi aankhon mein aa gae aansu

shukriya ai gardish-e-jam-e-sharab

ai mere ghar ki fazaon se gurezan mahtab

bujh gai kuchh is tarah sham-e-salam

aansu hun hans raha hun shagufon ke darmiyan

gham musalsal ho to ahbab bichhaD jate hain

wo sirf main hun jo sau jannaten saja kar bhi

ab ma-hasal hayat ka bas ye hai ai salam

kabhi kabhi arz-e-gham ki KHatir hum ek bahana bhi chahte hain

raat dil ko tha sahar ka intizar

aaj to shama hawaon se ye kahti hai salam
