tag-o-taz-e-paiham hai miras-e-adam

hazaron tamannaon ke KHun se humne

ba-sad ada-e-dilbari hai iltija-e-mai-kashi

na ho kuchh aur to wo dil ata ho

taslim hai saadat-e-hosh-o-KHirad magar

hae be-dad-e-mohabbat ki ye in barbaadi

hai nawed-e-bahaar har lab par

jab koi fitna-e-ayyam nahin hota hai

faiz-e-ayyam-e-bahaar ahl-e-qafas kya jaanen

mujhko ehsas-e-rang-o-bu na hua

wo bhala kaise batae ki gham-e-hijr hai kya

aap sharminda jafaon pe na hon

ab bahut dur nahin manzil-e-dost

ya dair hai ya kaba hai ya ku-e-butan hai

gulon se itni bhi wabastagi nahin achchhi
