kaliyon ki mahak hota taron ki ziya hota

ai husn-e-lala-fam! zara aankh to mila

waqt ki umr kya baDi hogi

teri nazar ka rang bahaaron ne le liya

wo bulaen to kya tamasha ho

KHata-war-e-murawwat ho na marhun-e-karam ho ja

mahfilen luT gain jazbaat ne dam toD diya

waqt ke rangin gul-daste ko yaad aaega ThanDa hath

har marhala-e-shauq se lahra ke guzar ja

har shai hai pur-malal baDi tez dhup hai

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

rudad-e-mohabbat kya kahiye kuchh yaad rahi kuchh bhul gae

puchha kisi ne haal kisi ka to ro diye

charagh-e-tur jalao baDa andhera hai

is darja ishq maujib-e-ruswai ban gaya
