lutf-saman itab-e-yar bhi hai

ruki ruki si shab-e-marg KHatm par aai

zindagi dard ki kahani hai

tur tha kaba tha dil tha jalwa-zar-e-yar tha

be-Thikane hai dil-e-gham-ghin Thikane ki kaho

tumhein kyunkar bataen zindagi ko kya samajhte hain

kisi ka yun to hua kaun umr bhar phir bhi

ras mein Duba hua lahraata badan kya kahna

jahan-e-ghuncha-e-dil ka faqat chaTakna tha

kuchh apna aashna kyun ai dil-e-nadan nahin hota

apne gham ka mujhe kahan gham hai

chheD ai dil ye kisi shoKH ke ruKHsaron se

bahut pahle se un qadmon ki aahaT jaan lete hain

waqt-e-ghurub aaj karamat ho gai

ye narm narm hawa jhilmila rahe hain charagh
