chahiye thi shama is tarik ghar ke waste

roz malte hain munh par apne bhabhut

jaane ko jae fasl-e-gul aane ko aae har baras

mausam-e-gul abhi nahin aaya

KHak ho kar hi hum pahunch jate

roz malte hain munh par apne bhabhut

mahfil mein teri aa ke ye be-abru hue

fitne dabe-dabae the jitne paDe hue

jo waqt jaega wo palaT kar na aaega

sunte rahe hain aap ke ausaf sab se hum

saqi jo dil se chahe to aae wo zamana

majra-e-qais mere zehn mein mahfuz hai

asiran-e-qafas ko wasta kya in jhamelon se

na milo khul ke to chori ki mulaqat rahe

ai nuh aate jate hain donon gharon mein hum
