ye bādal ġham ke mausam ke jo chhaT jaate to achchhā thā
ye phailā.e hue manzar simaT jaate to achchhā thā
ye dil tārīk hujra hai ise raushan karo aa kar
ye din tārīkiyoñ vaale jo kaT jaate to achchhā thā
maqām-e-dil kahīñ ābādiyoñ se duur hai shāyad
magar ye fāsle dal ke simaT jaate to achchhā thā
ye daur-e-habs TuuTe to ham apnā bādbāñ kholeñ
magar bād-e-muḳhālif meñ jo DaT jaate to achchhā thā
kahīñ gard-e-malāmat se kahīñ gard-e-nadāmat se
ye chehre gard-e-gardūñ se jo aT jaate to achchhā thā
