dare hue hain sabhi log abr chhane se
wo aai baam pe kya dhup ke bahane se

wo qissa-go to bahut jald-baz aadmi tha
bahut si lakdiyan hum rah gae jalane se

nazar to dal rawani ki istaqamat par
ye aabshaar hai kohsar ke gharane se

mosafiran-e-mohabbat mujhe muaf karen
main baz aaya unhen rasta dikhane se

agar main aakhiri bazi na khelta 'azhar'
to khali hath na aata qimar-khane se
