aaj wo phul bana husn-e-dil-ara dekha

main teri dastaras se bahut dur tha

zindagi ek saza ho jaise

jo mai-kade se bhi daman bacha bacha ke chale

kya bataen kahan kahan the phul

tirgi hi tirgi hai baam-o-dar mein kaun hai

rose jo marta hai isko aadmi likkho kabhi

kisi makan ke dariche ko wa to hona tha

ho sake to dil-e-sad-chaak dikhaya jae

jab koi bhi KHaqan sar-e-baam na hoga

dekh koh-e-na-rasa ban kar bharam rakkha tera

jaras-e-mai ne pukara hai uTho aur suno

jo duhai de raha hai koi saudai na ho

hamin the jaan-e-bahaaran hamin the rang-e-tarab

manzil-e-shams-o-qamar se guzre
