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

qafas bhi hai yahan sayyaad bhi gulchin bhi kanTe bhi

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

ye bhi hua ki dar na tera kar sake talash

ye dil walon se puchho isko dil wale samajhte hain
