kisi ka dard ho dil be-qarar apna hai

jab zara tez hawa hoti hai

gali gali meri yaad bichhi hai pyare rasta dekh ke chal

kunj kunj naghma-zan basant aa gai

dil mein aur to kya rakkha hai

apni dhun mein rahta hun

jalwa-saman hai rang-o-bu humse

kisi kali ne bhi dekha na aankh bhar ke mujhe

mumkin nahin mata-e-suKHan mujhse chhin le

ye sitam aur ki hum phul kahen Khaaron ko

dukh ki lahar ne chheDa hoga

tum aa gae ho to kyun intizar-e-sham karen

kal jinhen zindagi thi ras bahut

maine jab likhna sikha tha

zaban suKHan ko suKHan bankpan ko tarsega
