nae gul khile nae dil bane nae naqsh kitne ubhar gae

raat ke samundar mein gham ki naw chalti hai

barq sar-e-shaKH-sar dekhiye kab tak rahe

shaMein raushan hain aabginon mein

rahna tum chahe jahan KHabron mein aate rahna

dil pareshan hai na jaane kis liye

taqsir kya hai hasrat-e-didar hi to hai

bulae jate hain maqtal mein hum saza ke liye

zaban tak jo na aae wo mohabbat aur hoti hai

surKH daman mein shafaq ke koi tara to nahin

wo tanha mere hi darpai nahin hai

saz-e-hasti mein kuchh sada hi nahin

abhi to hausla-e-karobar baqi hai

ho rahi hai dar-ba-dar aisi jabin-sai ki bas

dil azal se markaz-e-alam hai
