husn ki shart-e-wafa jo Thahri tesha o sang-e-giran ki baat

dilon ki uqda-kushai ka waqt hai ki nahin

kuchh ab ke hum bhi kahen uski dastan-e-visal

KHuda ka shukr hai tu ne bhi man li meri baat

abhi to kuchh log zindagi mein hazar sayon ka ek shajar hain

mana ki zindagi mein hai zid ka bhi ek maqam

mera chaak-e-gireban chaak-e-dil se milne wala hai

waqt hi wo KHat-e-fasil hai ki ai ham-nafaso

Tilism-e-KHwab-e-zuleKHa o dam-e-barda-farosh

do gaz zamin fareb-e-watan ke liye mili

wo log jin se teri bazm mein the hangame

shahr jin ke nam se zinda tha wo sab uTh gae

gahre surKH gulab ka andha bulbul sanp ko kya dekhega

KHalal-pazir hua rabt-e-mehr-o-mah mein waqt

aisi koi KHabar to nahin sakinan-e-shahr
