ek shahanshah ne daulat ka sahaara le kar

aankhen hi milati hain zamane mein dilon ko

jaan-e-tanha pe guzar jaen hazaron sadme

hamin se rang-e-gulistan hamin se rang-e-bahaar

phir kho na jaen hum kahin duniya ki bhiD mein

dekha hai zindagi ko kuchh itne qarib se

dulhan bani hui hain rahen

har-chand meri quwwat-e-guftar hai mahbus

be piye hi sharab se nafrat

barbaadiyon ka sog manana fuzul tha

hum to samjhe the ki hum bhul gae hain un ko

un ke ruKHsar pe Dhalke hue aansu tauba

kaun rota hai kisi aur ki KHatir ai dost
