KHayal-e-yar sada chashm-e-nam ke sath raha

jab ham-nashin hamara bhi ahd-e-shabab tha

na lazzaten hain wo hansne mein aur na rone mein

bana hai apne aalam mein wo kuchh aalam jawani ka

rutba kuchh aashiqi mein na kam hai faqir ka

teri qudrat ki qudrat kaun pa sakta hai kya qudrat

na aaya aaj bhi sab khel apna miTTi hai

thi chhoTi uske mukhDe par kal zulf-e-musalsal aur tarah

aan rakhta hai ajab yar ka laD kar chalna

altaf bayan hon kab humse ai jaan tumhaari surat ke

jab us ka idhar hum guzar dekhte hain

mani ne jo dekha teri taswir ka naqsha

wo sanam jo mehr-ezar hai use humse milne mein aar hai

kyun na ho baam pe wo jalwa-numa tisre din

hanse roe phire ruswa hue jage bandhe chhuTe
