humne ek umr mein kya kya na jahan dekhe hain

saba mein mast-KHirami gulon mein bu na rahe

shahr-e-be-mehr mein milta kahan dildar koi

dil talabgar sahi hashr-ba-daman kyun hai

kisht-e-viran ki tarah tishna rahi raat meri

charagh-e-did jalao ki KHwab larzan hain

hayat ki be-ruKHi nai hai na apni kam-maegi nai hai

wafa-o-mehr-o-altaf-o-karam the ham-inan kya kya

jo teri nazar mein pinhan na ye etibar hota

raat gahri hai to phir gham bhi farawan honge

KHayal-e-subh ki ranaiyan kuchh aur kahti hain

tarjumani-e-gham-e-zist ka mausam bhi nahin

ek nashtar-e-nazar ke talabgar hum bhi hain
