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

fitne dabe-dabae the jitne paDe hue

mahfil mein teri aa ke ye be-abru 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

asiran-e-qafas ko wasta kya in jhamelon se

na milo khul ke to chori ki mulaqat rahe

majra-e-qais mere zehn mein mahfuz hai

ai nuh aate jate hain donon gharon mein hum
