ehtiyat ai dil-e-nadan wo zamane na rahe
tere ushshaq tere chahne wale na rahe

jin se qaem thi teri shokh-nigahi ki ada
rang-e-mahfil wo junun-khez ishaare na rahe

ai gul-e-shokh-ada tujh ko khabar hai ki nahin
jo muhafiz the tere ab wahi kante na rahe

hum jinhen ham-safar-e-rah-e-wafa jaante the
kya bataen ki wahi log hamare na rahe

subh se sham talak barish-e-anwar rahi
raat aai to in aankhon mein sitare na rahe
