khizan ka koi wajud hai na chaman mein rang-e-bahaar hai
jise jaanta hai tu karwan wo teri nazar ka ghubar hai

na jamal mein hain latafaten na latafaton mein hai be-khudi
ye junun-e-ishq ka bhut hai jo bashar ke sar pe sawar hai

mujhe be-niyaz-e-alam na kar mujhe be-nasib-e-sitam na kar
mere gham ki lazzat-e-jawedan meri zindagi ki bahaar hai

ye nahin nashat ka zamzama ise gosh-e-hosh se sun zara
mere saz-e-dil ki sada nahin meri be-kasi ki pukar hai

mujhe zindagi ki dua na de mujhe aisi sakht saza na de
mujhe dekh aa ke qarib-tar mera har nafas mujhe bar hai

hai khabar asir riha hue hain farogh daur-e-bahaar mein
chalo 'raj hum bhi chale chalen ki chaman mein urs-e-bahaar hai
