kuchh log jo sawar hain kaghaz ki naw par

shab KHumar-e-husn-e-saqi hairat-e-mai-KHana tha

bichhaD kar un se yun gham mein guzari zindagi humne

aaj bhaDki rag-e-wahshat tere diwanon ki

rindan-e-tishna-kaam ko ja kar KHabar karen

baKHsh di haal-e-zabun ne jalwa-samani mujhe

ab kaho karwan kidhar ko chale

humse ulfat jatai jati hai

jab ruKH-e-husn se naqab uTha

mil mil ke doston ne wo di hai dagha mujhe

basa-auqat mayusi mein ye aalam bhi hota hai

aankh mein aansu hain ehsas-e-masarrat dil mein hai

apni ruswai ka ehsas to ab kuchh bhi nahin

kal raat kuchh ajib saman gham-kade mein tha

bahaar aai hai phir jhum kar sahab uTha
