parda haTa ke jab wo hasin muskuraega

ba-faiz-e-gardish-e-ayyam hum ko

hua hai har tarah pamal qalb-e-na-tawan mera

rah-e-talab mein na kar is tarah KHarab mujhe

ghamon ki dopahar mein kaam aaya

apni nakaam mohabbat pe hansi aati hai

jab shab-e-furqat ki tariki se ghabraata hun main

be-ruKHi se na pesh aa saqi

mayus zindagi ke sahaare chale gae

is dil ko tah-e-tegh sula kyon nahin dete

chhu kar kisi ki zulf-e-muattar machal gae

dil-e-betab ka payam liya

qalb-e-alam-nasib ki tishna-labi bujhae ja

KHak tak mere aashiyane ki

mahfil mein agar saqi-e-gulfam nahin hai
