gham ke mujrim KHushi ke mujrim hain

aahan ki surKH tal pe hum raqs kar gae

jazba-e-soz-e-talab ko be-karan karte chalo

rahzan aadmi rahnuma aadmi

ek wada hai kisi ka jo wafa hota nahin

hai dua yaad magar harf-e-dua yaad nahin

saqi ki ek nigah ke afsane ban gae

jam Takrao! waqt nazuk hai

teri nazar ke ishaaron se khel sakta hun

maal-e-naghma-o-matam faroKHt hota hai

bhuli hui sada hun mujhe yaad kijiye

charagh-e-tur jalao baDa andhera hai

nazar nazar be-qarar si hai nafas nafas mein sharar sa hai

ye jo diwane se do chaar nazar aate hain

chandni shab hai sitaron ki ridaen si lo
