chand tinkon ke siwa kya tha nasheman mein mere

aae jo chand tinke qafas mein saba ke sath

shabnam ne ro ke ji zara halka to kar liya

sau bar aai honTon pe jhuTi hansi magar

hai tishna-labi lekin hum kyun use zahmat den

kya isi ko bahaar kahte hain

tira-o-tar fazaon mein jiya hun ab tak

gulon ke rup mein bikhre hain har taraf kanTe

dil ki dhaDkan bhi hai un ko nagawar

kaTegi kaise gul-e-nau ki zindagi ya-rab

gul-o-ghuncha asl mein hain teri guftugu ki shaklen

mata-e-gham mere ashkon hi tak nahin mahdud

mujhko to KHun-e-dil hi pina hai

hamesha dur ke jalwe fareb dete hain

bijli giregi sehn-e-chaman mein kahan kahan
