subh bichhaD kar sham ka wada sham ka hona sahal nahin

mauj-e-taKHayyul gul ka tabassum partaw-e-shabnam bijli ka saya

kal jo zikr-e-jam-o-mina aa gaya

chhupe to kaise chhupe chaman mein mera tera rabt-e-walihana

mausam-e-gul hai baadal chhae khanak rahe hain paimane

aa dost sath aa dar-e-mazi se mang laen

kuchh husn ke fasane tartib de raha hun

nahid o qamar ne raaton ke ahwal ko raushan kar to diya

kitne pur-haul andheron se guzar kar ai dost

shauq kitne fareb deta hai

yaqinan rahbar-e-manzil kahin par rasta bhula

afsos kisi se miT na saki insan ke dil ki tishna-labi

qafas bhi hai yahan sayyaad bhi gulchin bhi kanTe bhi

ye bhi hua ki dar na tera kar sake talash

ye dil walon se puchho isko dil wale samajhte hain
