javāb māñgā to ulTā savāl karne lage
hamāre ahd ke bachche kamāl karne lage
baḌe buzurg parindoñ se pyaar karte the
so ham bhī sabz rutoñ kā ḳhayāl karne lage
jo zard-rū haiñ vo phūloñ ko dekh kar apne
tamāñche maar ke ruḳhsār laal karne lage
dimāġh Thiik hai lekin ye dil vabālī hai
na jaane kaun ghaḌī kyā vabāl karne lage
maiñ ḳhush huā thā use dekh kar magar 'azbar'
darūn-e-dil koī purze malāl karne lage
