jawani yaad hum ko apni phir be-iKHtiyar aai

yahi kahti laili-e-soKHta-jaan nahin khati adab se KHuda ki qasam

hue aazim-e-mulk-e-adam jo hawas to KHushi ye hui thi ki gham se chhuTe

main kaha bolna shab ghair se tha tumko kya

main na samjha bulbul be-baal-o-par ne kya kaha

sunta hun na kanon se na kuchh munh se hun bakta

sahra mein hawas Khaar-e-mughilan ki madad se

aashna koi nazar aata nahin yan ai hawas

sab ham-safir chhoD ke tanha chale gae

dekhen kya ab ke asiri hamein dikhlati hai
