zindagi unki chah mein guzri

hui humse ye nadani teri mahfil mein aa baiThe

shab ki bahaar subh ki nudrat na puchhiye

kahin husn ka taqaza kahin waqt ke ishaare

subh ka afsana kah kar sham se

dil wahi dil jise nashad kiye jata hun

kisi ko jab nigahon ke muqabil dekh leta hun

ab to KHushi ka gham hai na gham ki KHushi mujhe

naghma-e-ishq sunata hun main is shan ke sath

aadmi na itna bhi dur ho zamane se

ai ishq ye sab duniya wale be-kar ki baaten karte hain

KHana-e-ummid be-nur-o-ziya hone ko hai

zindagi ka dard le kar inqalab aaya to kya

numayan donon jaanib shan-e-fitrat hoti jati hai

aankh un ko dekhti hai nazara kiye baghair
