udas raat ko mahkaen koi chaara karen
khayal-e-yar ko khushbu ka istiara karen

bala ki tirgi hai chashm-e-mah ko sochen
shua-e-khwab tarah-dar ko sitara karen

mahak ruton ki bulae tasarrufon ki taraf
katile tar magar aur hi ishaara karen

khizan ke din kisi pile pahad jaise din
shaguft gul teri ummid par guzara karen

hamare ishq ke surkhab par wo itrae
hawas-jaan mein hum us ki nazar utara karen

tera hi nam nikalta hai har tariqe se
kisi bhi tarah mohabbat ka istikhara karen

ye dasht-o-khar ye shahr-o-gulab sab tere
shabana roz tere lutf ko nihaara karen
