kaun is rang se jame se hua tha bahar

han ye to bata ai dil-e-mahrum-e-tamanna

kho diya shohrat ne apni sher-KHwani ka maza

hum panw bhi paDte hain to allah-re naKHwat

hath rahte hain kai din se gareban ke qarib

nazar aata nahin ab ghar mein wo bhi uf re tanhai

ai shab-e-hijran ziyaada panw phailati hai kyun

hangama-e-hayat se lena to kuchh nahin

KHatm karna chahta hun pech-o-tab-e-zindagi

naz udhar dil ko uDa lene ki ghaton mein raha

kya karun ai dil-e-mayus zara ye to bata

dusra aisa kahan ai dasht KHalwat ka maqam

intizam-e-roz-e-ishrat aur kar ai na-murad

hans ke nahin to ro ke bhi umr guzar hi jaegi

hamein jo yaad hai hum to usi se kaam lete hain
