sabhi andaz-e-husn pyare hain
hum magar sadgi ke mare hain

us ki raaton ka intiqam na puchh
jis ne hans hans ke din guzare hain

ai sahaaron ki zindagi walo
kitne insan be-sahaare hain

lala-o-gul se tujh ko kya nisbat
na-mukammal se istiare hain

hum to ab dub kar hi ubhrenge
wo rahen shad jo kinare hain

shab-e-furqat bhi jagmaga utthi
ashk-e-gham hain ki mah-pare hain

aatish-e-ishq wo jahannam hai
jis mein firdaus ke nazare hain

wo hamin hain ki jin ke hathon ne
gesu-e-zindagi sanware hain

husn ki be-niyaziyon pe na ja
be-ishaare bhi kuchh ishaare hain
