aaj Duba hua KHushbu mein hai pairahan-e-jaan

main kahan hun kuchh bata de zindagi ai zindagi!

dekhne wala koi mile to dil ke dagh dikhaun

bane-banae se raston ka silsila nikla

yun to marne ke liye zahr sabhi pite hain

zahr pi kar bhi yahan kis ko mili gham se najat

meri nazar mein wahi mohni si murat hai

hae wo log jin ke aane ka

yun ji bahal gaya hai teri yaad se magar

hazar tarah ki mai pi hazar tarah ke zahr

hum sa mile koi to kahen us se haal-e-dil

teri gali se chhuT ke na ja-e-aman mili

teri sada ka hai sadiyon se intizar mujhe

humne KHud apne-ap zamane ki sair ki

hangama-e-hayat se jaan-bar na ho saka
