aah ye mahki hui shaMein ye logon ke hujum

ishq ek hikayat hai sarfarosh duniya ki

farz barson ki ibaadat ka ada ho jaise

apne gale mein apni hi banhon ko Daliye

hamare ishq se dard-e-jahan ibarat hai

koi dastak koi aahaT na shanasa aawaz

baDe dil-kash hain duniya ke KHam o pech

hamein KHabar hai ki hum hain charagh-e-aKHir-e-shab

barq-e-zamana dur thi lekin mishal-e-KHana dur na thi

hoti na hum ko saya-e-diwar ki talash

hum KHud hi be-libas rahe is KHayal se

jab KHamushi hi bazm ka dastur ho gai

baDh gae hain is qadar qalb o nazar ke fasle

wo bazm se nikal ke kahte hain ai zahir

tamam umr teri ham-rahi ka shauq raha
