jhunjhlae hain lajae hain phir muskurae hain
kis ehtimam se unhen hum yaad aae hain

dair-o-haram ke habs-kadon ke satae hain
hum aaj mai-kade ki hawa khane aae hain

ab ja ke aah karne ke aadab aae hain
duniya samajh rahi hai ki hum muskurae hain

guzre hain mai-kade se jo tauba ke baad hum
kuchh dur aadatan bhi qadam ladkhadae hain

ai josh-e-girya dekh na karna khajil mujhe
aankhen meri zarur hain aansu parae hain

ai maut ai bahisht-e-sukun aa khush-amdid
hum zindagi mein pahle pahal muskurae hain

jitni bhi mai-kade mein hai saqi pila de aaj
hum tishna-kaam zohd ke sahra se aae hain

insan jite-ji karen tauba khataon se
majburiyon ne kitne farishte banae hain

samjhate qabl-e-ishq to mumkin tha banti baat
naseh gharib ab hamein samjhane aae hain

kabe mein khairiyat to hai sab hazrat-e-'khumar'
ye dair hai janab yahan kaise aae hain
