hota agar dabiz junun-e-safar ka rang
khud hi utarne lagta rah-e-pur-khatar ka rang

suraj ghurub hote hue mujh se kah gaya
kuchh to bata ki kaisa hai khun-e-jigar ka rang

ai ahliyan-e-amn-o-akhuwat main kya kahun
kis darja surkh hai tere diwar-o-dar ka rang

mana ki lab khamosh the aankhen to chup na thin
sab raaz fash kar gaya teri nazar ka rang

han ai amir-e-shahr zara aankh to mila
tujh ko bataun kya hai rukh-e-mo'atabar ka rang

main aasman odh ke soya raha 'saba'
ghurbat pe meri hansta raha shab qamar ka rang
