jawani yaad hum ko apni phir be-ikhtiyar aai
hua diwanon mein jab ghul bahaar aai bahaar aai

hua tha marg se ghafil main kis din josh-e-wahshat mein
saba kyun le ke mere samne musht-e-ghubar aai

dikhae ranj piri ke ajal tere taghaful ne
tujhe aana tha pahle aah tu anjam kar aai

hamare tausan-e-umr-e-rawan ke tez karne ko
shamim-e-zulf dosh-e-baad-e-sarsar par sawar aai

na paya waqt ai zahid koi main ne ibaadat ka
shab-e-hijran hui aakhir to subh-e-intizar aai

na kuchh khatra khizan ka hai na ehsan-e-bahaar us par
adam se apni shakh-e-arzu be-barg-o-bar aai

hamari dekhiyo ghaflat na samjhe wae nadani
hamein do din ke bahlane ko umr-e-be-madar aai

jo nang-e-ishq hain wo bul-hawas fariyaad karte hain
lab-e-zakhm-e-'hawas' se kab sada-e-zinhaar aai
