ta-umr aashna na hua dil gunah ka

jo tang aa kar kisi din dil pe hum kuchh Than lete hain

jiye jaenge hum bhi lab pe dam jab tak nahin aata

lapaT wo zulf ki jaan-baKHsh aur wo pyari raat

ab intiha ka tere zikr mein asar aaya

hamari aankhon mein ashkon ka aa ke rah jaana

kyun ho bahana-ju na qaza sar se panw tak

bahut kuchh bhul ho gai bhulne ka shad sun aaya

tha ajal ka main ajal ka ho gaya

na jaan-bazon ka majma tha na mushtaqon ka mela tha

ek sitam aur lakh adaen uf ri jawani hae zamane

bhul na usko dhun hai jidhar ki chaunk musafir raat nahin hai

wo aalamgir jalwa aur husn-e-mustarak tera

kyun ho bahana-ju na qaza sar se panw tak

ye dil-jami jiye jab tak jiye jina usi ka hai
