taDapti dekhta hun jab koi shai

dimagh de jo KHuda gulshan-e-mohabbat mein

gar yahi hai pas-e-adab-e-sukut

umr bhar rashk-e-adu sath tha kahta kya haal

aas kya ab to umid-e-na-ummidi bhi nahin

Khaali sahi bala se tasalli to dil ko ho

dastan-e-shauq-e-dil aisi nahin thi muKHtasar

subh hoti hai sham hoti hai

naseh KHata muaf sunen kya bahaar mein

kijiye aisa jahan paida jahan koi na ho

bas ki thi rone ki aadat wasl mein bhi yar se

humne pala muddaton pahlu mein hum koi nahin

kya KHabar mujhko KHizan kya chiz hai kaisi bahaar

dil-lagi mein hasrat-e-dil kuchh nikal jati to hai

zamane se nirala hai urus-e-fikr ka jauban
